Idle issue- air leak or what else? 120-130

My 122 starts perfectly every time, but will not idle until the engine is warmed up. After revving the engine for a while (or driving just a block)it runs beautifully and idles just fine. I know that an air leak somewhere could be the culprit (old gasket doesn’t seal as it should when cold but expands a bit once everything is warm) Has anyone else isolated other possible causes for this issue that I should check for?

General on the car- Weber dgv with manual choke, engine bored to b20 spec
