First off its a very common leak. I want to say there is no gasket there from the factory, anybody wanna confirm that I cant remember for sure? To fix that I would put on a good amount of RTV and let it sit for 24hrs. before you start the motor and heat the manifold up. Worked for mine.
There's the intake gaskets that go on the heads, but the front and rear rails of the block just get a nice bead of high temp RTV.
Your color is Medium Quasar Blue Metallic, but I would really recommend getting the intake powdercoated a color that's close.

from the factory there IS rtv on the front AND rear rails of the intake manifold. just peel the **** off and replace it with some "rtv black", "the right stuff " -(name of product), or similar rtv sealant.

Verdad Gallardo personally i like the stock look. autozone should have high temp dupli-color paint, just make sure it is TOTALLY dried on for a good 48 hours before starting the car or it will flake off immediately. made that mistake before lol.
