I would tighten the intake some in the proper order which can be found on ls1howto.com, just to be sure....then look for and lines that are disconnected

get some carb cleaner and spray it around the manifold see if the engine dies out and that will be where you leak is

Are you throwing any Check engine lights? Check on the underside of the PCV hose where it connects to the intake. Mine opened up a crack right there from the heat and the angle of that rubber hose. Mine was also throwing lean condition codes for bank 1 and bank 2.

I just went and got myself a piece of 3/8" vacuum hose and used some clamps and made my own 2" piece that goes there. I tried to order just that little piece but its part of the hole PCV tube assembly which is like $110 from the dealer. If you find just that little piece for sale somewhere let me know please.

Is that the little two inches hose before the PCV? It connects to the intake.
