Has anyone done any gasket replacement for their intake manifold? I have oil leaking from it and think it would be cheaper if I did it myself.

My car repair dificulty level topped out so far at replacing power steering pump on my old 96 Camaro.

I found a gasket kit for the intake manifold on www.carparts.com for like $48.

Is there anything I would need to know about doing this myself?

Thanks!
Dave

Before you change the intake gasket are you sure thats were the leak is coming from and not the valve covers? would check that first......

Well, the place that is doing my brakes does a check of everything else and told me that they were leaking from intake manifold. Now I don't know. I'm getting confused now. I will ask them about it again when I pick it up.

Thanks for input. I appreciate it.

Just a thought. 9 out of 10 times its the valve covers...Let me know how you make out

also it could be leaking from the distributor gasket (If it has one )
. go to pepboys or auto zone the gaskets might be cheeper
