Weird oil leak on intake?
Just as the title says....I popped the good yesterday and found a small pool of dark brown fluid on the intake, I thought it might've been gas coming from the carb inlet. I cleaned it up and tightened the clamp for the fuel and then I took the car out last night, brought it in the shop to check it out because last night was car show night, changed the oil etc, looked at the same spot and there's another pool of fluid. I actually touched it with my fingers this time and it felt like oil and had no smell to it really..and I found out its on both side of the intake in the same place. Never seen an oil leak there before. Here are some pics...

Pull out the bolts and clean then. Then coat them with liquid Teflon sealer or Rtv.

This is a commonly forgotten step while installing an intake.
