| Looks like my 98 GMC intake gasket is leaking. No money to get it fixed
right now. I hope to wait till warm weather and attempt it myself. Do you
think bars aluminum leak stop would be a temp fix for a couple months?

I believe most or all GM cars with plastic gaskets come with stop leak in
them from the factory. The shops in town here use the brown pellet kind
you crush up. They actually use them when doing there coolant flushes on
gm cars. So give it a try but keep a good eye on it. >> Stay informed about: 98 Jimmy intake gasket |

Any time I've seen Barr's put into an engine (any type of Barr's), it's
resulted in a clogged heater core. I won't use the stuff. Better to fix
the problem.

in my experience, if it leaks in to the engine, you are drivign car
with regular colant rather than oil. I noticed it when i open the oil
drain plug to change the oil. too sad that i see nearly 1 pin of water
flow before a single droplet of oil... I suggest you to check your oil
before dribing it. I mean check with replacing it. >> Stay informed about: 98 Jimmy intake gasket |

It appears it is not leaking in the oil. I get a smell of it only now and
then. I can see around the gasket that it is leaking.
