oil leak

Hello Everyone. I put over 100 miles on the 89 6 spd today. It ran well. But, it is leaking oil, out the back of the intake. Has anyone of you ever repaired this leak without taking the intake off. Just wondering. If you have PLEASE, let me know how you did it and the pitfalls of the method. I have put together six or seven engines. Never had a leak. I just can't believe the challenge this car had presented to me.

Thank you all

Joe

I am removing the intake. Do you all reuse the bolts or buy new ones. Thank you

Nope. Just do it the right way and be done, you'll be glad that you did.
