I don't think coolant can leak from a cylinder bolt, but I could be wrong.

It is very rare for the M103 headgasket to fail in such a fashion, just coolant loss with no oil in coolant or vice versa.

I really want to say its a rubber hose that failed and the dealer is being daft. Did they check the hose at the lower drivers side of the block? I wouldn't throw in the towel until I see a compression/leakdown check.
