    if your leaking sc oil from under the snout, chances are they used the old gasket or worse, im willing to bet your leaking oil from the bolt that goes straight down into the lim from the snout. my gasket broke when i did my coupler, and i just loaded the bolt threads with rtv and it sealed it up.

    but being that your going to take it off a new gasket should fix you all up. vac leak and fluid leak wise.

    Thanks a lot guys and yeah it didnt look like he had put new gasket under there and it was leaking from the bolt that goes through the snout down into lim. Really hoping this does fix up both the vac leak and fluid leak. I got one more question for you guys though... towards the back of the lim there are grooves or pockets not really sure how to describe them but the dont go down into the lim. The one all the way on the left side is filled with oil and the one next to it on the right is filled with gas. i know how i got the one filled with gas, had an injector pull out of the fuel rail while removing it because it was missing the metal clip to hold it in there. but i am not sure where the oil came from. Its not s/c oil, it looks like brand new fresh motor oil. Is this supposed to be there and if not where is it coming from?
