Take your personal comments on PM's. It's not fair for the OP to have this thread locked.
OP, post a pic of said engine section for better analysis.

I'll get to the reason why I asked this question after you reply.
Ive had it for a while, it has just been the garage for sometime now and been trying to get it to run decent.

It was NOT the intake manifold, rather than the exhaust manifold, sorry for the mix up.

Take off the exhaust manifold and take the picture again, that doesn't look normal.

wtf is that? There is no reason for drilling a hole or an oil leak in that location. Removing that manifold is going to be a biatch. Check out the corrosion around the bolt! Hopefully it's just residue or an illusion from the picture.

Looks to me like its just the gasket... The stock gaskets are multi layer and have small rivets that hold them together. Just my thoughts.

looks real dirty, clean that up a bit. Is it leaking oil because of the hole?

That's why he should clean it up, take it out and make sure it's hole.

I agree it looks like it's just the gasket that has a hole in it

That is a damn good illusion if I may say so myself.
