whats the procedure to put on that heater core tubing that bolts to the lower intake. is it just simply bolt it down? my neighbor had a little leaking problem on the end that screws into the intake. or is that typical and just stops?

If it's leaking now, no, it won't stop. You'll need to remove it and apply some teflon tape, then re-install it by tightening it down and then putting the bracket over the stud.

Ahhh. EIther it's not quite tight enough now or it simply needs replaced. Rust has probably taken over.
