Thanks RIP for your responce. Unfortunatly I have saturated the mating surfaces between the chamber, manifold and block without positive results.
The guys at Autozone sold me some carb cleaner for this job that contains diesel fuel, the thought being if the diesel was sucked into the intake it would also make the car smoke as a secondary signal that I had a leak (damn no smoke).
I have given up on my local mechanichs and have been tinkering on this in my drive (can't afford guessing mechanics any longer).
I had already pulled up the carpet to look for codes on the ECU and only found a red light that comes on when the ignition is turned on and then goes back out, no flashing. Installed a jumper that turned on the check engine light but no flashing, just stays on solid.
