Default Intake plenum threading

Does anyone have a fix for this junction leaking? Aside from ordering a new plastic plug. Is there an upgrade? Or just put in an oem. It's the rigid line adjacent to the osv.

Smoke test showed a pretty good leak while chasing a p1415.

plug is cheap and relatively simple to fix, there's a write up that makes is super simple on here somewhere.

could also always RTV it but that's not the right way to do it lol

The downside to replacing that fitting with something else is you'll need to adapt the line from the brake booster as well to fit the new fitting. I'd just replace with the OEM one as they last quite a while until the orings flatten enough to have issues. You can tap out the old fitting with some extensions and a 10mm socket through the throttle body butterfly
