Default Oil pooling in LIM

So I got bored and decided to fix all the little leaks I have here and there. One being my fuel rail and the other being my front valve covers. Well I decided I'd play with my intake runners while I have everything ripped apart and noticed something. There's a fairly large amount oil pooling in my lower intake manifold, all around the interior bolts. I'm assuming the easiest fix for this would be to remove the bolts, and cover them in either high temp rtv or teflon tape then throw em back in. Am I on the right track or is there a better way to go about it? If you want i can go snag some pics real fast.

Sounds like case closed. lol

But Overdose, while you have all that torn apart, might I recommend some new LIM gaskets??? You are only a small amount of bolts away from having the LIM out....
