Buy some Grey RTV pictured below. Use paper towels and spray 409, or similary spray detergent, to clean along the line where the manifold meets the block. Let it dry. Then put a glob of the Grey RTV on your finger and run it along the line "squishing it" in to the crevices. Let dry. Do it again. Cross your fingers and see if you've reduced your leak to something you can live with.
