oil leak from front/back of lower intake
 

I have replace the lower intake gasket twice now but still I have a problem with oil leaks from both from and back of the lower intake.

I read another thread that suggested this may be due to high crank case pressure. Is this true? Any Idea??

had the same problem with mine .......i found that i had to toss out the two cork sections and use a good quality rtv instead(black rtv did the trick)

i found that the cork sections of the gaskets were actually sqeezing there way out of alighnment after i torked the intake down

yep do what he said, put a 1/4 inch of some rtv down and throw out the cork gaskets!

YEah the first atempt did look like they ahd squeezed out.

I have been using a blue TRV but did you got rid of the cork all together?

Yep, toss the gaskets out altogether. Just use the black RTV to make the gasket. I don't think the blue RTV would hold up for an intake gasket.

I resealed my engine and i used only RTV on the front and back of the block, the center gaskets never work right. RTV is the hook up for sealing the front and back of the engine.

Thanks gents!
