Which gasket is leaking? B/W the UIM and LIM, UIM and Throttle Body, or LIM and Engine?
Its all pretty easy to fix as long as you have a 12mm socket w/ extension (maybe 10mm as well) and know how to take everything off. When removing the old gasket make sure you use a razor blade or a utility knife to get all of it off and clean the contact surfaces well so that you won't have any other leaks with the new one.
Also, I'm not sure what the poplar method would be but I would think that you might want to add a little scilicon as well, just for peace of mind. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.
Lastly, when your putting everything back together make sure that you don't over torque the nuts and bolts because replacing a stud is one thing, but it would really suck if you had to get a new LIM or UIM just because you ripped the threads out of it (I speak from experience).
