intake gasket?

[midnight gt]

2002 grand am gt 3400 v6 I think I have a intake gasket leak. I am leaking coolent in the back of the motor cant see wher it is coming from it is dripping between the oil pan and the tranny pan (running down from somewhere) cant see s**t in there. Now no water in oil, no over heating, Is there any thing else back there that can leak coolent? No it is not the hoses that go to the firewall I can see those. Just looking for other ideas before I have to bite the bullet on the gasket.

Thanks

clean it and use a pressure tester to confirm but it is probably the gasket

I agree with melsg5. It's not a hard job. Idk but GM put those black plastic gaskets in there and they are awful; I have replaced them on 2000 Bonneville SSEi 3.8 and 2000 Grand Am GT 3.4. I have also had a blown head gasket on a 2005 Impala 3.4.

Clean it and see where it is leaking but again I think you will have to bite the bullet.
