Answer
Hi Jesse:

Well it's one of 2 things. Either you are missing the o-ring seal under the pcv valve in the upper intake manifold or the valve all together if you replaced the manifold "upper" you may have for got to swap the valve and or the seal. Or under the upper intake manifold there are 2 of the lower intake manifold bolts ther are in the front and rear corners if theose bolts are not tight it will leak vacuume that way also. It's one or the other. Good luck :)
