2000 Chevy express 1500 350 intake manifold leak

I agree

And for what it’s worth, it’s a very common problem on this generation GM small block V8

It’s equally likely to leak into the crankcase, versus an external coolant leak

If it’s a small external coolant leak . . . think seepage . . . you can put off the repair for awhile, provided you monitor the situation and top off coolant as needed

But if it starts going into the crankcase . . . you should plan on fixing it ASAP
