Default zz4 intake manifold

Having a problem with my zz4 engine. Keeps leaking from the intake manifold (passengers side rear) coolant into the oil,curious if anyone else has had this problem. Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening again.

Apply silicone around water ports at each end of head and around each end of both sides of intake (total of 8 water ports). Silicone the heads' water ports ... then lay the intake gaskets on ... then silicone the intake's water ports ... then install the intake.
