    its not a lot, but it looks like the upper intake gasket to me?

    on the bright side, if i take it off i can polish the thing.

    yes sir, shes leaking mine was in the exact same spot! Mine used to look the same way, and would dry up after driving for a few hours. I did mine myself, much easyer the i though it would be, took about 7 hours. When you get every thing off take a wire brush to it, and it will look brand new, i wish i would have put a clear coat on mine after i brushed it, oh well, too late now. Look here... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2245261/8 WHEN YOU PULL YOUR FUEL INJECTORS MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN THEM BEFORE YOU PUT THEM BACK IN. Your car will run like new when your done. PS, buy lots of carb cleaner, youll need it to clean your uppper and lower intake manifolds, thottle body, and fuel injectors

          nope, it was sweet like coolant. kids, dont taste your coolant.

          bobby: i just pulled the tb to put a brand new polished one on, i wish i would have noticed it then. anyway, i plan on dremeling and polishing the whole thing. im not in any hurry to get it off, especially i dont notice the level dropping, but i will be doing it pretty soon. thanks for the help guys.
