Default Intake leak

I have an intake leak that is causing some issues. My question is would it be ok for a month or so to use blue goo or some kind of gasket sealant as a temporary fix till i get the money for repair?

if its leaking coolant i would say no, a quick fix is not a good idea. if its a vacuum leak then it may work but you would want to use high temp rvt and let it dry. it would be best to replace the gaskets and do it right.

its leaking from the drivers side about middle way. i believe it is causing it to run lean and cause the piston to get hot and causing early detonation... pinging during acceleration
