    If it's coming out from under the nut where that divot is that he pointed out, I don't think any amount of intake sealing is going to fix it. If that divot has raised the material where the nut seats, then it would make sense why the base gasket would fail there and why air is allowed to seep out from that spot.

    That "divot" is the end of where they drilled to make intake bolt holes. It stops right there. If the nut was torqued properly the base gasket would seal (  As much as they normally do, I always use some kind of sealant on base and intakes) could it still be there, yes. More than  Likely, it's the Reed gasket and sealing that, will stop it from traveling down that threaded hole, and out of that "divot". Tho it looks like he has it tore down, the reed gasket is easier to fix & retest.

  2. Either way~ coming from stud hole or intake hole... it's a gasket not sealing.

    Dano/ hopped called it.

    I'd do what loco said 1st, since it's easier & use shorter intake bolts & sealant. If that doesnt seal it ( let it set up before retesting) then its your base gasket. I'll bet intake will seal it tho
