Just finished a similar problem on my 93. The problem in my case was the car is EGR equipped and I had done the first job with manifold on. This unfortunately is nearly impossible with EGR vehicles and I did not get the two little horseshoe shapped brackets properly tightened, in fact missed them entirely. Next problem is the ferrules in the box through which the bolts pass were too tall preventing me from tightening the bolts and box snuggly enough to the block.

Would suggest: take out the ferrules and file them down so you can snug the box better, make sure you have a good O ring, and if EGR equipped, be sure all brackets fit and are not bent.

At this point, one week out, I am not leaking. I also replaced the top hose from the box.

Good luck,

dick
