I am trying to get the sump oil tight, I have installed a silicone gasket but the oil seems to be coming through the thread of the bolts holding the sump on, so the question is are the threaded holes in the crankcase meant to be blind and if not how to stop this leak?

I thought that maybe at the next oil change I would remove the offending bolts, clean the threads and stick a little silicone sealant on the threads any other ideas?
