There are 2 of them. They are sandwiched between the heads and the engine block. In order to replace them the intake manifold and heads must be removed and exhaust manifold disconnected. Always replace both of them on a V6.

Its primary function is to seal the combustion chambers and prevent coolant and engine oil from mixing. To access the head gasket, the intake manifold and cylinder head must be removed, which can be a complex process. It's essential to ensure the engine is cool and properly supported before attempting any repairs in this area.

It is either an intake gasket, or head gasket most likely...bring it in to a mechanic.
$2200 is what I spent but it was head gasket and intake gaskets.
Blown head gasket, cracked head, or cracked block.
To replace the head gasket on a 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass 3.4L, everything on the top of the motor needs to be removed. The battery should be unhooked first, then the valve covers, then the head itself. Replace the new gasket after cleaning the old gunk off from the first gasket. It is a good idea to take a picture before, during, and after, to make sure everything is hooked up like it should be. One note, the valve cover gasket will also have to be replaced after removal.
