Hello all,
I recently did the valve cover gaskets on the '91. While I was at it, I replaced the throttle body gasket since I had to take it apart anyway. Well now the throttle body leaks coolant out of the new gasket where it meets the plenum. Its clearly sucking coolant into the intake as well since I am getting a healthy amount of white smoke out the tail pipes. Here is a pic for reference with new FEL-PRO gasket above. I did not use any RTV and I am guessing that might be the problem. Any advise would be appreciated, especially where I should apply the RTV.
