Post Oil leaking out of intake bolts....

The drivers side was just like pumping oil out of the intake bolts. Has anyone had this problem?

yes I have.... it made a small oil pool right under the offending bolt.

fix for me was to pull the intake and use a light coat of the same silicone I used on the end seals around the leaking bolts like I do around the water jacket. Not supposed to need it with the silicone gaskets, but I do it anyway now.
