Default Intake manifold??

Sorry to possibly sound like an idiot, I'm not exactly experienced in working on engines, but can an intake manifold leak oil??? I think a local delaership is trying to pull a fast one on me. I took in my car to fix a turn signal, and they tell me my intake manifold is cracked!!!!

Thanks a lot :mad

The intake manifold gasket/silicone is a pretty common area for leaks on Corvettes. Might want to make sure that the dealer doesn't mean that.
