Some intakes will leak without the papers.We have ours that are aluminum installed with just the tins.No leaks.Just be aware that some of the thick papers will throw the bolt holes off.Easy to check start it and spray some carb cleaner aroubd the ports.Idle will change if its leaking.Rocky

it might be leaking on the bottom side. I'd pull it & add a THIN/EVEN coat of Permatex #1 in the toothpaste like tube to both sides of the 8 valley pan ports

the bottom is often over-looked cause you can't see it! out of sight, out of mind!

I chased a miss like this for a couple months.... I suggest you spray around with carb cleaner first (cheapest/easiest), inspect the carburetor (rebuild it if it's been sitting) and if those don't work, pull the intake.
Mine WAS leaking under the intake & I could see a little oil in the intake runners. Form-A-Gasket fixed mine.

Back in the day they got reused a lot.They were like 30 to 40 bucks back then and that was a lot of $$$$.Ive reused them quite a bit with no sealer or problems.Both our BBs with aluminum intakes are run just tins.No problems.Intake is easy to pull and check for leaks.Rocky

While you have the intake off set the manifold down on the heads without the gasket and check the fit with a flashlight and or feeler gauges. There are some folks out there that still machine intakes to compensate for milled heads and that intake will ONLY fit the engine it was machined for.Unless that TM7 was fairly new I suspect that may be your problem Just something I have seen before Gus
