lower intake

[Tonyr]

I have an oil leak and the Pontiac dealership said it is the lower intake gasket leaking and it would be roughly $600 to fix...mostly labor. Am I getting hosed or is that pretty much right? Also, he said to keep an eye on my antifreeze level until I got the car repaired.

Mine started out the same way, then progressed into both the upper and lower gaskets going out and causing coolant to foul the plugs. Long story short it was 1500 bucks at the dealer for them to replace the upper and lower intake, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, flush the coolant, etc.
