Brake Problem?

The alternator may not be charging, or your battery cable could be corroded, thus not sending enough charge through. A lot of times the corrosion doesn't show up on the outside of the cable much, but the inside is very corroded. Try changing the cable and see if that works.
Also, depending on where you live, AutoZone will test your alternator for you for free.
Good luck.
Happy New Year.

Whats a G-Lader Charger?

It's a bad alternator. Do not do what some idiots say and disconnect the battery to see if the engine dies. The battery filters out the spikes and surges from the alternator and disconnecting it with the engine running can fry the computer. Justt get a voltmeter and measure the votage with the engine going.

why would changing the Intake Gasket on a 1984 corvette stop a oil leak?

Your alternator and or regulator is bad and the battery is not being charged. Or you have a short somewhere in the electrical system that is draining the battery faster than your alternator can recharge the battery. Have your charging system checked immediately.
