Wondering if I can skip the whole intake manifold removal job and just take the cooler side of the OFH off, and replace the affected gasket, top coolant off, and change the oil.
Also waiting to hear back from the dealer again to see if they'd be willing to at least do it for just the cost of parts (as they've screwed up the labor twice already). This would be the 3rd replacement within about 5k miles.
Thanks for any input!

The thermostat housing can easily be removed from the oil filter housing. It's a much easier job. It is a completely separate gasket from the OFHG.
Both gaskets are prone to failure.
