These POS intakes are riddled with leak issues. After I got robbed for the better FelPro rubber-steel gaskets, now mine is sealed on the heads but leaking under pressure where the crossover mates with the plastic intake below the thermostat. I had also already replaced those seals but the original plastic was eroded.  My plan is to tear apart again and repair that plastic area by rebuilding with fiberglass and reshaping the area.  Your problem may be pitting on the underside of the intake back in that corner. You could pull it, clean it and coat the intake and head surface with some ultra black before reassembly.  Ford engineering should be sh-t for their horse crap design, and these intakes are no longer produced as of last year, so new replacements aren’t an option w/exception of a subpar Dorman knock-off.</p></blockquote><p></p>
