It's not really that big a job, but it's a little more challenging than changing your oil. You won't need any special tools other than a torque wrench and Autozone will loan you one. You'll want a scraper, some acetone, I like to have some fine sand paper for cleaning the gasket surface, a tap for the bolt holes, a die for the manifold bolts, and basic hand tools. It's not brain surgery! If you get a Chilton or suitable DIY manual, it's pretty easy to follow. There are however, a few points that the manual will mention, but the novice will overlook. Mark your tubes and wires before you remove them. I suggest marking the distributor end of the plug wires. A trick I've used is to take a few digital pics while I disassemble. For example the manifold bolts are not uniform in length or purpose. You'll need to come up with your own way to get them back in the right holes.

Why does the intake manifold on your 1990 Buick Century leak?
The manifold itself doesn't leak, but the gasket that seals the intake manifold to the cylinder heads and the engine block does. The gasket is subjected to alot of thermal expansion and contraction and over time, fails to retain the sealing capabilities needed to prevent leaks. One note. If you have a large oil leak, check the oil pump drive oring for being the problem, not the intake. The oring tends to dry out and not seal. Typically, it will leak alot of oil when the engine is cold, but slow down once warm.

How do you replace an intake gasket on a 98 GMC jimmy?
A service manual is needed especially for tightening the intake manifold bolts back into place in the correct pattern.

Once the manifold is removed you will be looking into the lifter valley of the motor, make sure to vacuum out any residue and stuff with rags to scrape any old gasket surface off, but do not scratch anything up.
