Leak: fuel pooling on the intake manifold
Take a look at the picture. After a good day of driving today I found fuel where the arrows are pointing (I had wiped most of it away before taking the picture). While idling I could also see some, what I believe is fuel, bubbling/sizzling between the intake and head (closest to the area of the top arrow). Passenger side was the same, also pooling and sizzling. I have before this also noticed a hissing sound that I cant recall hearing before. Mostly while cruising. It's not very loud, but it's there. The carb is as good as new, bough it recently new.
The hissing sound would suggest a vacuum leak. I have gone over the carb and plugged everything. It was still there.
The intake manifold was removed last sumer when I swapped cam. I have gone over it and torqued it to the right specs. What may cause the pooling? Bad intake gaskets? Blown head gasket? Cracked intake or head? Need your knowledge!
