If a new intake gasket was installed in a 98 Buick Lesabre 3800 v6 and if you pull the oil dipstick with the car running there is a suction into the crankcase that can be heard and felt by placing a finger over the hole is it a vaccum hose?

This is not unusual. The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system uses engine vacuum to create a negative pressure situation within the engine for emmissions purposes. All internal combustion engines have leakage past the piston rings, regardless of age. The PCV draws the unburned hydrocarbons that have leaked past the rings into the intake to be burned in the combusion chambers. This also has the added benefit of helping keep the engine oil cleaner by reducing the amount of contamination in the crankcase.

How do you check and add transmission fluid level on the 1996 Paseo?
There are two oil dipsticks one for the engine oil and one for the transmittion oil (don't get confused). Once you find the transmission dipstick pull it out, if the oil is still redish then it's fine. If it's black it needs to be changed. To add transmission oil you need to get a funnel tiny enough to fit in the dipstick hole for the transmission with the other end of the funnel wide enough to accommodate the pouring of the oil (there is special oil). Do it slowly, do not overfill, remove the funnel placing the dipstick back in place and check the level with the car running. My personal advise - if you haven't dropped the oil from the transmission - good - take it to a shop. There is a lot of work involved with cleaning, and placing new glue compound around the edges of the pan to make sure there's no leaks. GOOD LUCK -E
