Hello all:

I just replaced the intake manifold gaskets on my 98' 4.6L GT, due to two different leaks. The 1st leak near the thermostat housing has cleared up. The 2nd leak, that is still present, is atthe left rear of the intake where the heater core hose attaches to the intake (brass "nipple"). Obviously I am not familiar with the term of the brass piece.

My question is: Is that brass piece replaceable without buying an entire new intake? The brass piece when being placed into the intake did not seem to fit snug, therefore, I'm wondering how to go about fixing the issue. I am hoping that I will not need an entirely new intake.

Any help or suggestions are much appreciated. I am trying to do this the correct wayso that it will last, but with little cost as I am going to be selling my car soon. Thanks in advance.
