Intake leaking

40

Asked by Christian May 13, 2017 at 02:27 PM about the 1998 Ford Crown Victoria 4 Dr STD Sedan

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Just got a new intake and gaskets went to install it
and when I did I added water it started leaking just
on the right rear of the intake so I pulled it back off
I looked at the gaskets and seen none where
damaged would it help to put some blue permatex
on it to stop the leaking?
