Holy Plenum Leak Batman!

Holy Plenum Leak Batman!
So today while I was checking the trans fluid and oil in my truck I decided to finally pull the intake off and check the plenum for oil. I have always suspected that it was leaking as I am burning a slight bit of oil but oh my god. I shined the flash light down there and it was like I was looking into a valve cover. There was a nice pool of oil down there. No wonder why my truck has been steadily loosing power.
Well, I guess the next thing on my list is to fix that. While I am at it I am planning on pulling the heads too to check for any cracks and to fix the possible head gasket leak that I have. I am leaking a little oil and anti-freeze down the block, but no oil in the coolant or vice versa. Ohh well. Wish me luck!

Yeah, i'm not too concerned about it. I've done a couple head gaskets in the past. One on a '92 Cavalier 2.2L 4 banger and the other on a '95 Grand Prix 3.1L V6.
I might be getting laid off (yup, I live in Michigan) in about 3 weeks and if that happens then I will have all the time in the world to get it done and do it right. I just hope my modification bug doesn't crawl up my @$$ and convince me to by HS 1.7 RR's that I can't really afford right now!

So I've been surfing e-bay a bit and I came across this head gasket kit. AutoZone wants 100+ for theirs. Do you guys think this kit would be ok or is it garbage?

you can get the full upper engine rebuild kit for $100 or just the felpro headgaskets for $15 a piece and the intake gaskets for about $30.
I suggest the full rebuild kit as you need the belly pan gasket, intake mounting gaskets, and head gaskets. You basically get the Fuel Injector O-rings, Valve cover gaskets, TB gasket, air hat gasket, exhaust header gaskets, and valve seals for free.
All Felpro too, not a bad deal.
