Vac leak

Mornin guys! I developed a vac leak and I'm curious to if I should replace the intake and plate gasket below or just intake gaskets? Not sure if the plate gasket goes bad or not? Any help would b appreciated! Thanks

Not much info to go on, but if you are talking about the valley cover, unless its leaking oil, it doesn't need to be replaced-you can actually reuse that gasket

You think the intake gasket is causing a vacuum leak?

You can slightly hear something back there. And there is nothing else in the back of the motor like hoses etc....

Grab some aerostart or brake cleaner, spray it in areas where you think its leaking. The change in revs will tell you when youve found it
