Thanks to this website, I knew that the gaskets would need replacing eventually. Unfortunately, it happened at Christmas-time. The mechanic replaced the intake manifold gasket set, the water pump, and the power steering pump (also leaking), and did a tuneup while the engine was open (spark plugs, thermostat, oil change).
