70-k5 is on a distinguished road
That is a good plan, but won't it only fix the problem is the front seal is leaking... What if it is the rear seal that is causing the problem, the magic leak stop won't really fix that will it?

Leading me to fix number 2 and removing the intake manifold.

How tough is it to remove the intake anyways? I've got tools and a nice shop, just never worked on newer stuff. Any specific tools that are needed? Are the gaskets reusable or do I have to replace them like on old Gen I SBC applications?
