So I found out what happens when you don't use sealer with the plenum gasket when installing the aluminum plate. At least I could see it through the throttle body, didn't have to do much head scratching when oil consumption went through the roof.
Intake plenum, take two

Looks like you found out what happens when you reuse an old gasket without sealer and tighten it down more than it was to me. 
Yep, Right Stuff is one of my favorite go-to sealants/adhesives. Some others, too, depending on what I'm doing. The gasket was new (bought the whole gasket set, bolts and all), but I made the plate. I thought the surface finish might have been a bit too smooth, so I scuffed up the mating surface a bit this time.

My magnum is carbed. never seen the "plenum" or understood what people were talking about. seems like a pain. lol, and a common problem.

Side thought...what's the point of the plenum? like, why don't they just make the intake a solid piece? I'm missing something here...
