I have an annoying leak which appears to be coming from the intake manifold. I just replaced the crossover gasket in Hopes that would resolve the issue. It did not. What I am wondering is how so much oil would be getting up in the intake manifold in the first place, as my EGR system is bypassed. I have noticed a bit more oil consumption either by leaking it or actual consumption.

I have checked the bolts around the manifold and they are tight. I have yet to replace the gasket however. It is puddled up on the head bolt area around the first injector, nearest radiator. Any thoughts?
