Cherry you are backwards. The limg is above the head gasket and they do not get replaced during that job. If you search lower intake manifold walkthrough on gagt.com you will find what you need to know. All in all you need about $150 worth of parts of which a list is located in a thread on this site if you search for the lower intake manifold, and a basic set of metric wrenches and sockets to do the job. You will also need to buy or rent a torque wrench, they sell for around $100 or your local advance should have a loaner for you. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me or the rest of us here, btw if the leak is that bad it needs to be fixed asap. I am worried that if you overheated the car regularly you might have warped the heads.
