    ^^

    I beg to differ.

    wait, no I dont.


    p.s I cant help you with this but if you're little daughter ever needs help getting down a set of stairs again, (ala Vikings club tonight) - I'm your man.

    Alternatively just attach balloons to every suspect area and start your motor. The balloon that expands shall find the source of your leak.

    I was the skinny dude who thought Kedderz was Shane, prior to asking of course.

    Nope, won't get a chance to look until ??? It may reveal itself during the track day at WP on Fri? It's not causing any issues, just a little annoying.

    May not even be a leak? but hard to see any other reason for the high idle with the new intake manifold?

    pour copious amounts glue in the inlet manifold.

    that way the holes will be glued up.

    any excess glue can be used to make a paper mache heat sheild for your turbo

    stick with wet material on the end of it... squash it up against possible leak spots..

    I soak paper gaskets in motor oil to provide a better seal.

    Hylomar is brilliant stuff. We use it to seal motorcycle crank cases where there is no gasket.
    Never leaks.
