Streetmaster Intake leaking oil from an intake bolt?

[jholmes217]

I put a Streetmaster on my 428 about a month ago. I keep finding a small pool of oil in the area around the second from back on the drivers side intake bolt. This is one of those bolts that is hard to get a wrench on because it is so close to the runner. The bolt has a washer on it (ARP intake manifold bolts set.)

Has anyone had this issue, and if you did, how did you fix it?

Are you sure it isn't the valve cover gasket?

Are you sure it isn't the valve cover gasket?

Pretty sure.  Ran a shop towel along the valve cover area and it was pretty clean.

Fixed!  I ground one edge of a washer flat so it could bottom out on the runner side of the intake manifold, then used a little "The Right Stuff" on the intake side of the washer, and went for a test drive.  Leak fixed!  Thanks to Larry H and Chris McAlpine for the suggestion on the other FE forum.

I was wondering if maybe it wasn't sitting all the way down.
I figured you already checked that.

Good catch.

On My streetmaster i made a "tool" to spotface each boltholes
And used a washer under each bolt . The first tool i made
Same dia as the washer since i thought the holes
would be in the right place. They where of a lot i ended up
With having to file one hole oval to be able to center the dist.
In the Pic is the cutter i made from some toolsteel i had .it cut
aluminium without heattreatment. I made tooths on the side of
The cutter for those holes close to the runners. Next is the bushing
with a light pressfit for the bolt hole and next is the M8 bolt that
the cutter is threaded for. So i hammered the bushing Into the
hole from the bottom inserted the bolt threaded the cutter on the bolt
And just rotated it with a ratchet and Held a light pressure on the
Cutter
