Well, after driving it around last night, then letting it sit there are no leaks. Which is good, but it uncoverd another leak, oil. I traced it to the back of the intake from the valley. Can I just clean it up and put some more rtv on it or am I gonna have to pull my intake?

Pull the intake. After going through the pains of installing a tranny pump removing an intake should be a breeze. Might as well do it right.

I pulled all of the rtv from the back I could, cleaned it and layed some new stuff down. If it leaks I will take it off. I would like to stop all of my leaks, but they keep appearing. By the time I'm done I will have replaced all of the gaskets on the car.
