I will do that in a little bit Jeff. My MAP is reading the exact same with the IC and without.
Marginal LIM gasket? you men the one that has 4 parts to it?

Well I was thinking that maybe one of the coolant passages was passing into the intake passage, under slightly more vacuum. But if it's the same then maybe not. If it gets up to temp and gets worse then I would say it's the issue. But that is the only thing I can think of.

I do find it odd that it doesn't have the sweet smell of coolant. Burning oil would make me thing PCV, but let it run for a while, I think that's the only way you will find it.
