Intake Manifold Gasket?...

Ok guys so i was checking my oil last night and happen to find that a bolt on my intake manifold had either been over torqued or whatever the hell happened and had snapped. so as im sitting there confused as shit, i said screw it im going to acura tomorrow to get brakes i'll just get a bolt too....which was a ridiculous 7 bucks! ..... and as im coming home i get this UNGODLY noise coming from my engine bay..and it seems like the vacuum created by the gasket has been compromised.

i have to EZ out the bolt because of course with my luck the head broke off. so do I buy a gasket from acura or just have them take a look at it?

i just cant believe that someone could over torque a bolt like that, if its tight its tight!! oh and i am the second owner so i know i didnt do it because the only thing ive done is put an AEM air intake on it.


ANY HELP?? thanks!
