NO. You MUST replace the intake gasket.
no, You will have to replace the intake gasket, CAUTION DO NOT USE STOP LEAK.
maybe it's not the intake gasket. Maybe it is the intake manifold itself, they were bad about cracking. Also there is a coolant line that runs under the manifold that likes to leak as well. It's more likely to be a ruptured/cracked intake manifold as this is a common problem on these cars. See detailed info on the problem (and how to fix it) here: http://www.autoclinix.com/Manifold.htm
It would be wise to replace the intake gasket with a new one than to try to fix the old one. How long it would take to replace the gasket would depend on the model, year and engine type you have.

You will notice the plastic around the heater pipe is connected to some plastic to the front of the car from it. Take a hacksaw blade and cut about a 1/2" groove in that plastic - just enough to get a hose clamp around the plastic circle that holds the pipe. Tighten the clamp and voila! No more leak.

Depends where it's leaking, but basically you fix it the same way you fix any coolant leak. <><><><><> Generally, its a hose that is leaking. You find the leaking hose, and you replace it, being sure to properly treat the ends with anti-leak compound. If its the radiator, you need to replace that. If its the intake manifold or head, you are getting into big bucks to replace the gasket involved.
The intake manifold gasket is a common problem with the 90 degree GM engines. Replacing it requires you to bring the #1 cylinder to top dead center, then you have to very carefully scrape away the gasket material, being sure not to get any into the intake manifold itself. And you're going to have to look up the torque specs for reassembly. But, the short answer is that you're going to have to replace the gasket. Numerous resources are available online which go into detail on how to do this, or you can get a Chilton or Haynes service manual for that vehicle.
