Unfortunately nothing got fixed. I found the leak, which was under the passenger side of the intake manifold. So I pulled everything back out to inspect it, and it looks fine. Think it was improper torquing I re-installed it. No such luck. So as I carefully torqued the bolts one broke off, so I'm pretty much stuck right now.

One of my friends is going to see if he can help remove the broken bolt. At this point, the intake manifold might have a crack somewhere which is probably the reason for the headaches the first place.

Priority is to get the broke bolt out, and then I have to put the car in the back burner for now while I find the time and funds to re-sod the backyard.

The car is still drivable... just with the intake manifold leak.
