Yes, you need sealer on the intake bolts. Liquid teflon works well.

yes for sure, remove the bolts that are leaking and buy some RTV Black Silicone sealant. apply some to the bolts then re-install them.

Liquid teflon is the white pasty stuff.

I've never had any problems with the liquid Teflon. It actually has a higher temp rating than the typical black RTV.
