Default Weird Leak Detected

Ok so I did a smoke test last night and found 3 leaks. One was a pin-hole in the intake boot..... Another appeared to be coming from the lower intake manifold. How much of a pain is that to replace? I just had the upper intake gasket replaced last week. The weird place that smoke was coming from was around the nylon bushing that the throttle cables pivot on on the throttle body?! Anyone ever heard of this before?

The leak at the t/plate shaft is no issue. Exactly which seal did you just replace, was it the one between the upper and lower manifold?

Yeah it was the one that is open once you remove the intake to do the wires. The throttle plate shaft isn't anything to worry about? Honestly I think there was more smoke pouring out of there then the boot and manifold combined LOL
