Intake manifold bolts to the heads, that's what you want.

Post a picture. Sounds like something else. Not "intake".

that's what also my dad was saying the guy I took it to didn't pull off the Intake manifold yet just some things like the air filter and said he stuck his hand in there toward the back and "felt it" I don't know ill get picture when I take the manifold off.

There's an upper manifold and a lower manifold. There are several other parts you should probably replace while it's apart if those parts have never been removed. Depends on where the gushing is coming from. Good luck.

Suggestions on what to replace beside just the manifold when I take it off?

You will need a new gaskets; this is not negotiable. May I suggest, if you are not sure what an intake is, you may not want to start pulling the mill apart to "find the problem". May I suggest, you get someone with some under the hood time to look at it, Prior turning wrenches. but if you are determined to start pulling it apart, get a manual, and pull the Pos lead from the bat, better yet, pull the bat completely, prior to the start of your new adventure. Next, I'm being serious, not trying to talk down to you, but make a list of everything you'll need Prior to the start of the operation. Parts stores are full of guys coming in needing xyz, things they forgot Prior to pulling things apart, tools stores same thing, "I didn't realize I was going to need a xyz..... Best of luck to you!

I found the leak it was that pipe on the Intake was cracked all the way around so I just replace the whole lower intake.

The IMRC bushings are on the rods at the motor on the back. They break and the IMRC valves stop moving and you'll get a code.

Is it already buttoned up? EGR ports look crusty. Edit - Never mind. The new manifold will have clean ports.
