if it is the inlet manifold leaking where its bolted to the head, it can be a little fiddly to remove, but the gasget costs a few quid at most to get & will take roughly 30mins to an hour depending on how brave & skilled you are!

the negative leads are connected to the part of the cam housing underneath where the breather hose is attached, there either 12 or 14mm bolts which are holding them on

oh and a warning
I dont know if its just cos my engine was a high mileage one, but, there is a small rubber hose on the back of the engine, connecting from the block to the cam housing again, its only about 3 inches long, comes up between the inlet manifold between no. 3 & 4 cylinders, just give it a squeeze when cold, see if its squidgy or has the feel like the front coolant hoses (as it should) just mine was pretty fucked & rotted to shit as there is quite a bit of hot oil going through it, so if you get time as a preventative measure it may be worth replacing that sometime!
The other hoses seemed ok on the engine when I was removing mine at the weekend, but I just thought I'd mention it!
