Welcome to the forum! I hope one day to put those many happy miles on my Monte. Now I have yet to have to fix the intake manifold on my car. Hope the suggestions above help to solve the problem!

When the intake gasket is being replaced are they using the improved aftermarket gasket made from metal instead of nylon? That usually fixes the problem with no re-occurrence of leakage.

Im no mechanic but if the intake gasket over extends a tiny bit and it looks like plastic then I'd say no. Thanks for the info!

Basically yes...I have skipped an oil change a few times. I changed over from motor oil to synthetic because of all the driving I do. Well kinda new, it had about 15K when I got her. Thanks

Welcome to the forum, I would greatly recommend using the metal gaskets when it comes time to replace the intake manifold gaskets again. My mechanic did mine last year with the aluminum gaskets so I don't expect to have an issue with them again.
