Default Lower Intake Gasket

I have a 2004 Impala SS. How common is it for the lower intake gasket to leak? My coolant bottle was bone dry but I haven't seen any coolant on the floor in my garage. Sorry if this is a noob question, did a search but didn't find an answer. Thanks in advance! Oh yeah, it has almost 50k on it.

yes the intake gasket is horrible on the cars out of the factory. Get it changed. Open up your radiator cap, i bet you see brown gritty gunk
