Default Inlet control valve leak

Hi everyone,
I just heard a hissing sound around the inlet manifold control valve.
Also, do I need a sealant for the manifold lower gaskets?

Regards.
Onielle.

No sealant needed for hte lower manifold gaskets. The o-rings have a recess that they set in and as you tighten down the intake they get squished slightly, forming the seal.
