Lower Intake gasket cost

I think my daughters 2001 Alero (60,000 miles) has developed the manifold gasket leak. With a flashlight, I can see a small puddle of coolant back under the throttle body. Can't get my hand back that far to actually stick my fingers in it, but from the diagrams here, I'm pretty sure this is it. I know this is a labor intensive job, so the cost is pretty much the hourly rate of the technician. I'll likely go to a GM dealer, simply because they have probably seen a lot of these, but for those of you that had this done recently, what did it cost you. Also, is the new GM gasket warrantied for any length of time, or could I be looking at another one of these in a few years.

i had mine done at the dealer few years ago when ODO was at 52k. reason i took it to dealer instead of local shop was that third generation gasket was out and TB was revised on bolt tightening sequence and torque rate which also included new bolts. mine cost $1048 which included gasket, top end flush, oil change, thermostat, fuel filter, and coolant flush. currently i am at 98k and it is still going strong.
