Default Intake Manifold Oil Leak Fix

I'd just like to say how easy this fix is. In less then an hour I was down to just the intake, so in 12 bolts the thing will be off. And this is working in 30 degree weather with a flash light while the car is on jackstands so I need to be standing on something to reach in the back. So no one should fear doing this, the only special tool needed is a fuel line disconnect tool, other then that its just sockets.

The important thing is that you sit the intake straight back down so it seals properly. Also, dont forget the 2 10mm bolts on the back of the intake that hold on the emission tube if you dont have it blocked off already.

The two 10mm bolts, are they the ones that hold the EGR and AIR tube on the rear of the intake? I am getting ready to block off the AIR and EGR on an intake which I bought (which is bare) and I need to know the bolt size for these two items. There are usually studs in both with nuts but they were removed from this intake.

Cool..... I guess I'll have to drag the intake into Lowes to find all the bolts that I need, should get some funny looks doing that!
