I just took out all the manifold bolts and pulled the hole manifold away from the filter bolt. It is still a little moist in that area but it might be coming from something higher up. Because something is leaking up there. I think it is coming from the intake gaskets. Hope this helps.
Im a little late to this post, but did the fix work? No leaks yet? ANd when you say you dropped the passenger side exhaust only, did you drop the y pipe and then take the passenger side manifold off?

You do not have to remove the manifold itself. I just removed the Y pipe when I did it and I'm not sure you really truly need to remove anything... it just depends on your tool selection. I think I used a 17mm flex head gear wrench. The through bolt is just in a very awkward spot.
