My son needs help replacing the intake gasket on his 02 grand prix 3800 v6 NOT supercharged. It is leaking oil, he also said it has a coolant leak that we believe is the heater hose fitting o ring. They just moved there this summer & don't have alot of $$$ if you can help or know of someone please message me, it would be appreciated

PM TC, he may be able to point you to a reputable mechanic in the areaIf you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue -

plenum gasket and throttle body is pretty easyComment

Not to rain on your parade but he likely will need an intake manifold, too. They are notorious for failing in the coolant passage area. Dorman (an aftermarket company) makes a replacement that's cheaper and more durable than the factory unit. But he might get lucky and his could be OK.
