Is it possible for you to post a pic of the area you are talking about?
If its one of those tubes that goes through the TB, its a PITA to repair, and you may snap one of those tubes... Lucklily for me GM still had the tube I broke

Its starting to sound like the intake gaskets are going...
But a picture would be worth a thousand words

Yes UIM.Cant find daughters camera but I am going to do the UIM gasket as it is def seeping so I was looking for tips as I am going to use the HAYNES, I know get the chiltons but haynes will do as I also have the BC family if I run into trouble.
I am going to get UIM and front valve cover.I will go to dealer for UIM gasket I guess or check part source, but I have a valve cover gasket can any one verify part #25532619 for my 1990.
TIPS TIPS TIPS please

see if any of the local parts stores sells Fel Pro gaskets... You will be able to get the valve cover gaskets and the intake gaskets... Both are very good quality

How much more work are we talking about, I have felpro upper on order ($60),valve cover gasket I am going to stick with the GM one I have (checked part# and is correct) TB I assume has to be takin apart and noone has this dealer said next week for order so ill have to wait.I am basically doing this as I know my 00 will have to be done.Dont forget tips.
