i have a very small oil leak between the intake and the block just behind the distributor. 351W. is there any way to fix this without taking it all apart?

You have to remove the intake and toss the friggin' cork gaskets. Just use a nice bead of silicone on the ends instead. It's a very common issue with cork gaskets. I like the Mr Gasket intake gaskets better than the Felpro ones IMO....but whatever they carry at you parts store will suffice.

ok. thanks. what kind of silicone?

Blue RTV works for me.....

100% pure, NOT fortified with silicone. I have always used just the 100% ORIGINAL clear silicone.

Don't get carried away with to much, don't want excess dripping into intake valley.

I throw away the cord end gaskets and use Permatex UltraBlue or UltraBlack. Never had a leak since. Other silicone sealers do NOT adhere well, especially if they are exposed to gas/oil.
