So I was kinda proud of myself that I got it back together and ran like a champ. It's been a couple of weeks and now there is a leak coming from the same place.
I have removed the intake again(much quicker this time), and sure enough, 2 green puddles at the vp in the back.
So I guess I will try to form my own gasket this time. Ugh!
