What is the temperature of a car engine near the gasket area?
We are going to need to know which gasket you speak of, there are several.
What is a gasket head?
A head gasket is a gasket that sits between the engine block and cylinder head in an internal combustion engine. Its purpose is to seal the cylinders to ensure maximum compression and avoid leakage of coolant or engine oil into the cylinders; as such, it is the most critical sealing application in any engine, and, as part of the combustion chamber, it shares the same strength requirements as other combustion chamber components.
How can you tell the difference between a bad head gasket and a bad upper intake gasket?
A pressure test on the cylinders will tell if you have a bad head gasket. If you hear a whistle sound near the intake gasket, spray WD-40 (or any type of petroleum spray) on the area and if there is a leak the engine rpms (or engine sound) should change.
How do you know it's not the gasket and just not the sensor out?
If you think you have a vacuum leak because of a bad gasket, spray the area with carb cleaner while the engine is running. If you have a vacuum leak the engine idle speed will change when you hit the right spot.
How do you identify intake gasket problem?
Simple method... get some carb cleaner or starting fluid. With the engine running, spray the area where the intake manifold gasket is. If you experience sudden bursts of increased RPMs, you have an intake manifold gasket issue.

Toyota Camry LE 2005 cooling fan not on when the engine is on?
It's not supposed to be on. It comes on when engine reaches certain temperature. But if you see that temperature gauge is going in the red area you need to check the fan relay, its fuse, and the temperature sensor.
There is oil coming out of the back of the top side of the engine and going onto the exhaust. It looks like it might be leaking from the supercharger gasket area Can you buy that gasket by itself?
i doubt it but any auto store should have karropak paper to make your own gasket. i just bought some to replace the gasket on my iac valve, just not sure how to do it yet.

Why is water collecting in cabin filter housing of your 2002 grand caravan?
: Your firewall drain tube MAY be clogged on the firewall . You can blow it out with compressed air from the engine side of the firewall. It is hard to get too but not impossible.: The other cause could be similar to what I encountered.I had this water leak in my 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan. It was not a clogged drain on the firewall but a leaking firewall gasket that the drain tube goes through. The gasket was brittle/cracked from heat off the engine. As the vehicle was driven the air entering the engine compartment was forcing the water back towards the worn gasket and it entered the passenger compartment. To replace the gasket was going to be next to impossible. So I purchased a tube of Polyurethane NP caulk from Home Depot. This caulk stays very pliable all year long. I applied it over the gasket area and around the drain tube ...but made sure it did not go in the drain. You may need an extension on the caulk tube to reach the firewall gasket area ... I used a McDonald's straw and taped it to the caulk nozzle to get the caulk on the gasket area. Wear surgical gloves and spread the caulk over the gasket area. 2 years and not a drop of water in the front passenger area of the van.
Why is there coolant leaking onto the spark plugs?
The head gasket has failed and will need to be replaced. The head gasket seals the place where the engine block and the cylinder head meet, there are many oil and coolant passages in that area, so when the gasket blows out the coolant in the nearby passage vents into the cylinder closest to the failure point.
How do you find out if the oil pan gasket is leaking or if its the front crankshaft seal on a 1992 lebaron?
