Need some advice intake manifold needing to be tightened ? (oil leak)

[Marczing]

Hi Everyone

So I went out for a drive and was smelling oil (can't be my truck) in the cab of the truck this has been the third time, it was time to have a look. I took the motor cover off and saw oil from the mid point on both sides of the motor where the intake mounts to the block the oil path runs to the back of the motor. I would think the rocker covers would leak before anything else, I check the rocker covers and there dry, I feel if I were to torque the intake this should solve this issue.
Any ideas? Also What would be the torque specs thanks everyone.

I'm curious if there is a sequence for tightening the manifold.

Always start in the middle and work your way out in a circular pattern. This helps ensure you apply an even clamping force to the intake and head surface.
