When drilling out the rivits, it looks like the guy drilled to far and had to thread in a longer screw. It's leaking right from that screw, ever so slightly. The work involved is pulling the plenum, repairing / replacing the intake cam cover and putting everything back, plus purchasing of parts, gaskets, etc.
