if it has been leaking a while then you can just look at the underside of the butterflies. covered in thick nasty? replace plenum gasket.

That's only if it's a bad leak. I used to look in mine whenever I changed the air cleaner and it was clean as a whistle. Until one day I took off the TB for some reason(I forget) and looked with a mirror and light. And sure enough I had a nice large puddle of clean Mobil1 in the corner. LOL And it wasn't from the PCV valve.

Like I always tell people...

If it is a 1994-2001 model year pickup truck, and it says Dodge on the side, it has a leaking plenum gasket.
