Intake manifold oil leak
Hi Everyone!
So i have finally tracked down my minor oil dribble on my 1995 LT-1 and as i was told by many of you, it is the back of the intake manifold.
Now the leak is minimal and it is just a month from storage season.
Any tips on a quick fix until the spring when i can actually remove it, clean it up and put in a new gasket?
Do stop leak products work? or should i just leave alone until the spring?

The LT1 intake is dry....no coolant flows through it and no coolant will escape from the heads when you pull the intake. This job takes 2 hours. Fix it right or wait until next year.
