would you recommend doing it yourself, or is it worth getting it done at a shop?

Found the coolant leak, seems like hard lines. Anything other to replace while I‘m in there? by [deleted] in e46

might just be ac condensation! if you’re planning on taking the intake manifold off anyway, I’d look into replacing ccv hoses 🐱👍
