        If it's the nylon intake manifold, there's nothing you can do to fix it. Simply have to replace it.

            Is the leak coming from the intake, the gasket, the crossover, the water pump? If it's in the crossover and it's metal, you might be able to use some JB Waterweld on it to seal up the Crack if it's not at an edge while you save for a new intake. If the leak is AR the base of the intake at the gasket area, you may just need new gaskets. If the intake is actually cracked, get a new intake.
