2000 Jimmy leaking coolant

i have a small leak from my intake seems this is kinda common on other years also

my question is

is there a new gasket out or manifold to help fix this problem from happening again or does a one time normal fix cure the problem

Thanks

Re: 2000 Jimmy leaking coolant

The aftermarket gaskets seem to do a lot better job sealing them up. We have used the felpro metal and plastic and have had good results with both.

Do yourself a favor and get a high quality RTV to use in the intake valley. The right stuff silver has been good to us as well as the Audi/volkswagen grey RTV.

Felpro MS98002T, if installed correctly and torqued properly, will not leak.
