no, it shouldn't leak. when i put mine on i accidently cross threaded it and screwed up the threads on the head. so i'm running without one. the VERY end one on the passenger side (THERE YOU GO GUYS. THERE'S MY SECRET. IT'S OUT!) but to get it out go to your local hardware store and buy an EZ-OUT. not sure if that's still a brand. and they tell you what to do on the package. basically drill a hole in the bolt and then use the tool. it grips the sides of the hole and backs the bolt out
