It very well could be the gaskets. I swapped my upper intake with an SVT one and disturbed the aged gaskets after reinstalling. Had to pay a ton of money to have new upper and lower gaskets put on. I proabably could have done them myself but I just let them go ahead. I don't know why they would be leaking on your car if no one has tried to remove the upper intake and your car is fairly new compared to mine. Oh and please don't give quotes on a 75 hp gain from the air conditioner mod buddy or people will ignore you. You don't even get that much power from a Vortech supercharger on these cars.
