    a very very small leak in the intake manifold on front end seal. u can barely see a lil drop of oil commin out.

    clena it up and smear some more black rtv on it? or take it off and start over?

    My suggestion....take it off and do it right. You'll have less problems in the long run than "Mickey Mousing" it.

    I agree with the rest, a band-aid would not be a permanent solution, you probably would want to redo the whole thing, sorry :(
