I checked again an hour later and no change in the size. After the baseball game I went out and found the size had increased to half the size of a dollar bill. Crap. Look's like I'll replace the intake gasket but I really have my doubts that it will change anything. Using a Q-tip I found no wetness behind the intake manifold.

I am going to do the same thing in a month or two.
Just make sure all your surfaces are clean of all oil and dry. After putting it back together let all adhesives set overnight before firing up the engine.
Good luck
