oil puddle on intake?
On the passenger side of my intake, I have a little oil puddle that keeps coming back. It is located on the base between #4 and #6. At 1st I thought it was an injector leaking, however it is oil. I wipe it clean and it comes back after driving for awhile. 88 GTA 5.7. Any ideas??

It comes up through the bolts, you need to use some sort of thread sealer on them so that it can't get through.

Use blue threadsealer, don't use silicone.
