Intake manifold is leaking at the backside. Having checked out gasket sets I see there is no gasket for front or back of intake, is RTV the answer here?

Yes, just lay a nice bead of RTV being sure to hit the corners good and be very careful setting the manifold in place trying to drop is straight down on the bead so as not to disturb it until the manifold comes down on it.
