I have a 97 Astro that is leaking. The dealer ship quoted a price of $650. minimum. I know there is a lower and upper manifold gaskets.I'm faced and with cruise control and fuel injection and I am a little aprehensive. But being out of options and low on funds due to uncle sam and cost of living increases and not alot of work I might have to take it on. Any help would be cool. I have been driving GM products for 30 years and have never had a intake manifold gasket blow.

this is a common problem with the Vortec engine and the manifold gaskets that GM uses. In fact, if you do a search on GM manifold gasket you'll see all the chatter about a class action law suite related to this problem. Bottom line is that you'll need to replace the manifold gasket - preferably with an after market replacement (like Fel Pro) so you don't have to do it again!
