If so that is called the plenum gasket, or intake plenum gasket. There are available aftermarket, places like NAPA should have or be able to get them. It is a common gasket to replace because of the necessity to remove the plenum to do a tune-up. NAPA gets about $7 for the gasket.

No, the baffle plate is the gasket...if it's not in bad shape put some red Permatex around the block, install the baffle,and oil strainer, then apply the permatex around the oil pan and install.

Good luck (remember rated this).

Rusty is from running a bad or no mix of coolant. (PH level is off) You may have a water pump that has corroded impellers, and can't move the coolant as well any more. I would start by making sure to flush the engine block again, and make sure you flush water through every possible hose, and where you can get at it.

I have replaced several water pumps on different makes but not on a KIA. I recommend you don't learn how to fix it from the internet! Buy a repair manual at the parts store. Best $25 you'll ever spend. Good luck!

Hi:
If your Kia sportage is using water, it might just need a new head gasket, as that is a common cause of water consumption.
