I believe I have my oil leak pinpointed to the intake gasket. I am going to try to repair this myself. I have never done this before. What tools will I need before I start? Is this a difficult job for someone who has never done this before?? Thanks.

 

Very easy to do. Just make sure your very clean. Blow the intake off before you start.Take a picture of the intake. It helps to remember where the hoses and wires go. Also masking tape to number connections. Take a peice of cardboard cut holes to hold intake bolts in order. All of this will help keep everything together. If you need more help. Send me a p/m. Also you can check out Shoebox's site. Good luck

 

First off what are the symptoms of the oil leak?

 

The rear portion of the intake is covered in gunky oil. Its either that or the main seal. I get a few drops everytime I park it.

 

Probably the infamous rear intake oil leak due to GM's lack of correct sealant application.
