Thanks for your help; is there anything else I should worry about or should I just get started on getting a new intake and gasket? (and I still need to finish reading the 1st link and start reading the 2nd link which I will do).
I would drain out the oil in it now before you run it after you finish replacing the upper and the gaskets including the gasket under the metal lower intake.
I would put in 4 quarts of cheap oil before you start it, Walmart's brand would be economical. Then after the car has run for many minutes when repaired, drain and refill with clean oil again. Don't forget to change the filter that time.

You might also want a set of fresh spark plugs.

Good luck to you.
