The Crawford plenum itself does not have a tendency to leak, but it may be leaking around the base. If I remember correctly when I installed mine 9years ago, it was recommended to use 2 plenum gaskets to insure a good seal between the upper & lower plenum.

make sure the oem gasket is there, and that all the bolts around the plenum are torqued to spec.
