Evo VI GSR Throttle body/IAC leak

Hi. I have a leak in my E6.
Leak location.

It has that "oval" shaped lid where a bolt goes through. It's leaking from bottom part of the lid during boost leak test.
Video showing air leaking through it.

Is there a gasket behind the lid or what is it and how have some of you sealed it?

Hey welcome aboard!


Do you think it could be the gasket item no. 07729?

Hi. This is my first time posting on here so please excuse me if my format is what its supposed to be. Also doing this from my phone. I have the similar issue on my evo 6 rs it seems. I have changed out my idle air control valve and upon further inspection I realized that this leak is most likely because of a faulty o-ring that sits behind this thing that looks like a hex head on the assembly. There is a pic of it somewhere on this site. I Have not been succesful in finding a part number for it so far so I might just use silicone to seal it up.

Haven't tried. Source of leak doesn't point to that so I doubt that it is, valid point though.

I assume also that it has a seal behind, but I've neither to found any any pictures or part id's for this specific part.
Silicone came to my mind also when this thing seems to be impossible to be found. Will try to find solution for couple days before that.
