The squeal countinues

I posted a thread earlier about having problems with a squealing sound. I think I have it narrowed down to a leak in the intake plenum. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and where it was coming from, and how to fix it. New plenum? Double gaskets?

Some one please help

Just replace the gasket and you should be fine. Gaskets do fail eventualy.

Problem fixed.

The intake to plenum gasket wasn't right. I got some heavier material and a little blue goop and all is well

thanks everyone
