well ended up taking it to a different mechanic and they found that the intake was still leaking, so much to my distress I had to call the other shop where I just paid to have the intake done, he agrees to fix it again but still says its the block or possibly a bad intake , the other shop gave me a free known good intake off one of the techs trucks so that way if this guy wants to say its the intake I have another there already...what does the block have to do with the intake gasket doesnt the intake bolt to the heads not the block? is there anything that could be mistaken for an intake leak?
the leak is at the passenger side rear corner
