Re: Intake Valve Covers Leaking
If you're talking about your air intake boxes, they seal against the filter. If the filter is installed right, there should be no issue.
If you're talking about the manifold plenums, make sure that the bolts are torqued down to spec.... you should be seeing some issues with the engine running if you have a leak here though. Worst case, get a set of NW gaskets and intall them. Easy DIY and cheap....
How did they determine there was a leak??

The factory plenum gaskets are actually metal, they would be hard to go bad if you have never taken them out and damaged them. Check the torque on the bolts and make sure that they are tight. Are you having a problem with power or whistling sounds?
Maybe he is just trying to jack you up for some extra business.......
