You might find that it's the metal seats and not the rubber o-rings. The original sealant may have perished and now when you're on boost some fuel is coming up the threads.

Its an inlet manifold off job not sure on how difficult it is to do though other than that. I need to do it to mine at some point as I have a similar issue although at the minute it isn't as bad as yours sounds. However I'm sure there is a guide in the maintenance section somewhere.

I think that Wazzer also explains the process in his build thread.

is it only a manifold off job because tiny bits of the sealent may drop into the block??

Pretty much yeah. For the sake of a couple of quid for a gasket I'd rather take it off though
