The piece the map sensor plugs into on the back of the intake.... How does that come off? I was able to twist mine but never to get it out. I think it is sucking air.

Don't twist.... oops.
If it is not suppose to come out then I should be able to get away with applying a sealent to prevent the leak. It feels to be coming from that part connected to intake. It is where the brake hose vacuum and map sensor connect to the intake.

^ what he said..any plastic glue/weld would work. but if you're sure its sucking air (which i doubt) make sure its sensor friendly, your O2s could go bad from some fumes. it happened to mine once. not 100% sure it was the cause but nothing else was applied to the car. good luck.

Thanks everyone.
I was thinking use alcohol to remove dirt/grime and then use RTV to seal the outside of it.
IF that don't work... JB weld is great. Will look for the water weld... not used that before.
