Hi there,

I just purchased a 1999 Grand Prix and I was told by the previous owner that the intake gasket is leaking. Is is true that since the car only has 65K miles on it that I should not be worried about the head gaskets? I want to make sure that I am going to get this car running smoothly.

Thanks!

its the intake manifold gasket
you should have it change
don't let the engine over heat or then you will need the heads
make sure its always full of coolant
