Ok I blew my intake gasket when I was doing about 75 mph. I stopped about a half mile later refilled the water and oil (didnt see where the oil went), then drove home about 5 miles. when I put the water in it I saw it flowing out of the intake gasket on the side just behind the alternater. and the oil is still there and I did'nt see any water on the dip stick, but there was a little moisture on the oil filler cap.
My question is what are the chances of this causing other troubles, or can I just fix the gasket and it'll be good.

There is always a chance..but i think you got it in time as long as you didnt hear any engine knocking..make sure you Change the oil too after you replace the gaskets

Been there, done that. Mine blew out to the inside. Also doing about 75mph. Took out the radiator when it happened. Not a difficult fix, just time consuming.
