manifold leaking water?

Just bought a 1996 Vauxhall Tigra and when I put water into the filler bottle it pours out from a bolt on the exhaust manifold, what could it be????

Probably a water cooled manifold and the bolt is near a water jacket,or bolt threads are into a water jacket in the cyl.head,anyway bolt will have to come out and maybe manifold to inspect,manifold is probably alloy so could be subject to corrosion if a/freeze is a weak mixture,check for cracks etc near bolt hole and if no fault found try a little loctite on bolt thread when assembling
