was looking for a vacuume leak on my SS, so I went to my buddy's shop and he hooked it up to a snap on machine that pressured tested my system with smoke and we found the major leak right away, also noticed a VERY tiny amount of smoke coming from under the intake manifold.
I fixed the broken vacuume hose real quick took it for a ride and the tiny problem was gone, with this intake still on the car.
I went home and swapped on a different intake I had laying around (which is staying on) and new gaskets and nothing leaks now....
In the picture you can see where the smoke left a brownish residue
My guess either bad gasket or a coolant crossover I left up a little high getting in the way, or a TINY crack where I scraped it white in the corner, which looks like an easy fix.
$250 or trade for ???
Thanks!
