Fan and intake leak
Ok my fan seams to have stoped working, but I can get it to come on with the AC and now I have a coolant leak on the passanger side of the intake, how much is the gaskets for the intake going to cost and how long of a job is that? And what do I need to check for the fan? I looked at the relay and it looks ok to me what exactly am I looking for on the relay?

well the leak stoped I put in stop leak like a day or two ago and now its fine, so I don't need to change the gasket and as far as getting a new intake I don't have that kind of money yet.

Don't mess with it, if the gasket is breaking down it will go big time. I did the same thing years ago and she blew on X-mas day. They can shove coolant into the lifter valley and hence the oil and you get a mess. You don't need to bother with the intake, just get a good set of gaskets. Use the Fel-Pro printoseal type, they are a little more money but worth it.

I agree with changing the gaskets. Fan not working could be the switch in the head.
