Default Do you have any way to show a picture of this?

Mongoose930 Any chance of getting a first name?? I know it's not mongoose. Picture would really help. If you are having the same problem again, there is a machine problem with manifold and head and block You need to get an angle meter and find out what the problem is with this corner. There may have been too much machine work done and is causing a bad sealing angle for the gasket. A couple of heat cycles and the gasket lets go.
Are you using any sealer on the corners?? RTV? This is an expandsion problem. You might try a stud and nuts in the back corner. Problem is if the angle is to far off you could snap the manifold corner. In the winter pull the motor and have the intake, block and heads all squared. Pull intake manifold and check is the best for now, add some grey RTV seal and follow instruction and 2-3 minutes for skinning and 24 hours for sealer to cure. Also follow toque pattern on bolts. Start at 20 and go 10 then another 5. This is dry on bolts and threads. Good Luck Rick
