Should I get a new LIM or just new LIM gaskets?

my mechanic said you're not supposed to.. along with the lower pcv o-ring isn't supposed to be there, but yet without the o-ring, it made a horrible hissing, willwren gave me pics of his WITH an o ring, my brothers 3800 MCSS has one on it, and to top it off, it'* still losing fluids
is it supposed to be changed and how much is the part

Not changing that UIM could eventually cost you the entire motor. It has for a dozen or so members here in 3 years.And what pic did I send you? I don't recall that.
Your mechanic isn't very 3800 savvy apparently, and your friend with the MCSS....is he supercharged or not? If not, he'* got serious issues that are going to cost him his motor. I suggest he join our Forum ASAP.
i confused you with jrs3800
http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/...&highlight=pcv
that'* who i was thinking of and those are the pics i'm talking about
they sent me pics for step by step pcv install (i'd never done one in a 3.
and i did that, and i found i had a missing lower PCV o-ring.. that'* the ring i was talking about. My brother had a 2001 Monte SS (non supercharged) up until a few weeks ago, and he traded that in about a week or two weeks ago.. on a 2004 Monte SS (Supercharged L67) ..but back to it, his girlfriends dad has the same year car, ss also,(2001) but it'* blue, but anyways, so i checked on his motor, and the o rings were there..
My mechanic said they're not *'posed to be there.. yet on everyone elses 3800s, the o ring is there.
now onto the fluids part; his never were losing any, neither of his montes..
my car is losing fluids
haha
i am sorry, i kinda rushed through that and didn't type it correctly (the thing about me and my brothers car and my bonne)
the mechanic is taking a look at it right now so hopefully it'll be okay
i would show him this thread, but he'* also a family friend (lives 2 houses down) and he'* done all our car work for the past few years.. but he hired some guys, so i'm guessing they're the ones who are doing the faulty work. .
i should still show him this thread, and all the pics, and even the o rings, but i don't want him pissed off.. he gives me a damn good discount on this stuff.

Yes the O Ring on the PCV is required
