Hi Graham, It all depends on where the water is entering the studs hole in the head. It could be that the head gasket is leaking a bit or water is traveling up the threads of the stud from where is screwed into the block. You could try tightening the head stud a little more or if it is only a slight leak some radiator sealant such as Barrs could be used but be careful and follow the instructions to the letter otherwise you could have cooling problems as it will not only seal the leak it can block other waterways and or the radiator.
