intake manifold bolts

My intake manifold bolts are leaking oil. Should I replace the manifold gasket or just seal the bolts and with what? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Seal the bolts with thread sealer. Liquid teflon works well.

I would check your spark plugs just to make sure your not burning oil through the intake gaskets. Don't ask how i know
