Sounds like either a dropped intake gasket or a head gasket. I would pull the upper intake first then look inside and see if you missed anything. When ever I do the lower intake, I always use HIGHTACK gasket compound. It is like a glue / sealer that holds gaskets inplace. AS soon as it touches, it won't move, so get it right the first time ! Use BLACK rtv at the ends of the intake and put a small amount around the water ports and you should be ok. I have never had a problem when I do it this way...knock on wood !
