Leaky Water Neck.

Ok, heres a small problem, my water neck is leaking around the intake seal, Ive got a gasket on there now, and its not working. The neck is new as is the intake, so I dont think either is warped or cracked. I am a hater of RTV sealant, I think its was made by Lucifer himself, but If thats all thats gonna work so be it. Anyone got any good ideas?

RTV is what I used (the blue kind). Its gooey and messy, but it did the trick.

What kind of water outlet?

If it's the stock chinesium piece of dung, get rid of it. It's warped.

No man, Its a new Steel/Chrome one, the old one is still bolted to my old piece-o-junk stock intake. It had two friggin ensors in it, not exactly a "show quality" part.
