    slight oil leak from the intake.
    shop's price to fix is $800...

    whats the worst case scenario from not fixing this?

    its the 2000 GT 3.4, not sure of the engine code

    whats involved in replacing this gasket?
    any general knowledge can help, not looking for specifics, but they would help.

    changing the intake isnt terribly difficult
    take off your entire air box setup,
    take off the throttle cable,
    take of the 4(?) housing bolts,
    peel off gasket
    *note be careful when doing this on the engine itself,dont want to make a small dent of any kind*
    clean up intake mani,
    get new gasket, and use some rtv (sold at any parts shop)
    put some on either side of gasket
    work backwards
    and be sure not to run on your car for 24 hours
    that why u have a nice tight seal
    anyways good luck

      changing intake gaskets is super easy. buy yourself a haynes manual & do some research on clubgp.com. it can easily be accomplished in an afternoon. hell i would come & do it for a 2-4 if you lived a bit closer :D
