Default Oh noes!!!

Yesterday my "Hot rod" was diagnosed with an intake leak. It's a small little leak on the right side about less than a 1/2 inch. The car will smoke a little if it is cold out and i'm at a light for a short time. Other than that I wouldn't even know there is a problem. I was wondering if this is a common thing on the L98's? Anyone that had this problem, tell me about it and also let me know how much it will cost to fix.

Thanks :cheers:

Intake manifold leaks are not a matter of "if", but "when" with L98's. My 90 also developed a leak on the right side a couple of years ago. There weren't any bad fluid leaks, but the engine would overheat in traffic because the cooling system couldn't maintain pressure. I cost me about $350 for the local Chevy dealer to fix.
