Default How to repair stripped bolt holes on engine block

Hi guys,

I noticed my car was spraying some coolant all over the engine bay today. I saw it was coming from the lower water neck (one that the water tube attaches to)

I noticed the bolts were very loose. I tried to tighten them and they would tighten and then loosen, which is a sure sign of either a stripped bolt or screwhole. The bolt is fine, so Im assuming its the thread on the screwholes. Bolts are the right ones and are the proper size.

How could I go about fixing this?

thanks!
