It doesn't bolt to the plenum, sits in a large rubber collar that fits into side of plenum and a larger collar that is attached to side of plenum.  Only seal is the rubber collar ;)

Spray some carb cleaner around it when its running. if theres an air leak it will be sucked in and will be most audible  :y

wouldn't worry about it until i'd confirmed there was a leak :) if you don't have carb cleaner use soap and water in a spray bottle  :y if no hissing its sealed fine

Before oiling it best to clean it - use card cleaner, then, as said, a couple of drops of 3 in 1 :y

Yep the rubber collar can leak if knackered or not fitted correctly ;)
