New diagnostic - massive vacuum leak at intake manifold

So my mechanic has located a massive vacuum leak to the rear of the intake manifold. Might have to replace the manifold gaskets. Now here is the question:

Anybody have any detailed additional comments? My mechanic won't do the job, so I am going to do it...
