I bet it was doing it before you changed the intake gasket. Sounds like you have blow-by cause by bad/ worn piston rings. How many miles on the car? Does it puff smoke like a choochoo train? IF you down shift into a lower gear and let the engine compression slow the car down does it blow white smoke out the exhaust?

doesn't puff smoke not much smoke comes out of the exhause, and i know for a fact it didn't happen at all before i changed the manifold.
is it hurting anything?

1996 with about 80k miles
