Give it a little time before you pull it apart.

Took her to the dealer to get the tune done and the dealer told me the leak will not effect performance. He gave it throttle and the leak stopped and told me it would be fine.

The leak is now gone. It seems like that new gasket just needed a few miles to seal up.
