Manifold leak?

I have a small leak coming from the manifold on the driver side towards the front by the alternator.is there any way to just fix that small area or do I have to take it all apart?and can I leave the injectors and fuel lines on to replace the gasket?

You'll have to take it apart to fix it correctly. Removing the intake and replacing the gaskets isn't really that bad to do. Just take your time and keep track of where bolts go. IIRC, you don't have to remove the fuel rail or injectors to remove the intake.

Well I'm not talking bout the valve cover gaskets. I'm talking about the base manifold gasket
