I found your answer ... look take off the upper intake and move it out your way remove the rear valve cover replace gasket but wat how u put it in... wen u placing it in the cam caps will try and grab onto the gasket and pull it out of its groove it’s okay get it into position raise it a few inches check and make sure your gasket it back in place and the slowly lower it down onto the head and there ya have leak fixed
