Yea, Ford has a TSB on the rattle, that's what I gave you I think, I don't remember. Mine had that problem.
It sounded more like a rattle than a leak. If I didn't have to take my front tire off on the passenger side to get fixed and took a look while the wheel was off, I would have been banding the hell out of the converters.

hm. . . Guess the guy just didnt feel like booking alot of hours that week. . .
anyway, while yes, alot of the bolts will come out if you weld the nut to the end of them, other still need alot of heat to break the seal. I've threaded nuts on broken bolts 4-5 thread, welded, hit it with water, let it sit, and then have the nut twist right off. I had to heat the stud til red hot then torque it out sometimes
