whinning and smoking

[dogdrinkincoffee]

I have a whining sound coming near the air intake manifold and a little bit of smoke is coming from that area. The high pitch sound dies off 3-4k rpm in 2nd gear and everything else seems fine. I do idle around 700 -900 rpm and my car is about 180k miles. I tightened my alternator belt and other belts seem fine any ideas?

sounds like a vacuum leak or a intake leak to me :)

does the leak cause it to smoke? and will i still be able to drive it with out damaging the engine really bad?

and to fix it do i have to re rtv the manifold for the intake leak and the vacuum leak i use break cleaner to find the broken hose?

Just replace the gaskets...
