Angry Oil leak

Im not really sure where its coming from, its not a major leak but i have oil on my starter, and dripping down from the factory y-pipe. I felt around to the rear of the intake manifold and found a little oil but mostly alot of dirt build up. Today i torqued down the rear bolts to 35pounds, i got almost half a turn on one of the rear bolts, maybe that was it? Anyways, if its not my manifold what else could it be?

Chances are it's your intake manifold leaking, it's a pretty common problem with our cars. I'm not sure if just tightening down the bolts is enough, you may have to replace the gasket.
