Wheres this coming from?!?!

[Chris.G.Jr.]

Alright so i was checking my spark plugs bc i believe i have a mis somewhere (truck hesitates to take off does a little "puff puff puff then goes when i take off from a stop)

needless to say the plugs i dont think have been changed since the truck was owned 1st.

anyways to the main point, as i was looking i noticed on the driver side on the manifold there was some type of liquid, looks like oil, not sure where it came from!!!!!

any ideas????

Oil is seeping up the bolt onto the intake. I know it sounds funny but it's possible. either that or you have a bad valvecover gasket

Mine did the same thing after my motor rebuild after about 500-1000 mile.
I re tightened my intake bolts and that solved it.

I would try that first and see what happens

You should honestly use a non-hardening thread sealer on the manifold bolts so that that doesn't happen.

Please be sure to check for the recommended torque value, I hate to see someone snap a bolt in that area.

Agreed... Now that you mention it I believe I tightened them first and one still leaked so I ended up pulling each of the bolts out one by one and applied some sealer, then re-tightened.

Sorry for the missing piece of the puzzle, It completely slipped my mind.
