That's a popular gasket leaking spot at about 120k miles. My IROC leaked there, and so did my SS Monte Carlo. It's highly unlikely you'd get a crack in your intake or heads there. (unlikely, not impossible)

That gasket's easily checked with a pressure test.
Mine went at about 65,000 mi.- Jag, maybe it's the Kentucky air?
It was a good excuse for an Edelbrock manifold, anyway!
