To be honest with you, it sounds exactly like the problem I had with my 95 Lumina (lower intake manifold gasket). And the qoute you got is about right. I decided to go the cheaper route and do it myself, but it is a pretty big job. There are so many electrical connections and vacuum lines to disconnect, you need to have a good system of noting where everything plugs into when you put it back together.
If you decide to do it yourself, you can't get just the intake manifold gasket by itself, you'll have to by the entire top end kit (head gasket and up). That runs about $180. It'll obviously cost a bit more that that to complete the job since you have to change the oil, filter and flush and fill the radiator when your done, but it's a lot cheaper than having a mechanic do it.
I'm sure this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I hope it helps you in figuring out what to do. Good luck!
