69 Redbird, what year intake are you using? A 69?
If so, it should not leak on the driver's side if you are using the early 65-71 (small crossover hole) gasket.
I "fixed" the problem on one of my Tri-Power intakes (should be the same as a 69 Qjet intake in this area of the intake) by welding up part of the crossover port in the intake.
I welded about a 1/4" to the top (inside) part of the crossover port on the passenger side of the intake. Welded it up and then filed back flush where in contacts the gasket. Use the small crossover port gaskets on both sides and it works great. No indication that the intake has been modified when it is installed on the engine.
