The high pressure line is the one usually with a metal tube attached to the hose at the pump end. The return line usually just connects to the pump with the hose and a clamp.

The smell you are probably smelling is the fluids that are leaking hitting something hot like the exaust. Unless the leaks are so severe that it takes constant refilling then you should be ok. But be aware that when yu have leaking parts that you must regularly check those fluid levels. Them leaking wont cause major damage, but you not keeping the fluid levels up will. I had a tranny leask in my van for a 1 1/2 and thought it was a expensive fix, but I ended up fixing my leak for about 6 bucks. My point is, check your fluids once a day if not more depending on the severity of the leak.

Your lower intake manifold gasket is leaking,Its a common problem on that engine.As a gm technician we had issues with that intake gasket leaking.Its a very big task to replace so id suggest that you take it to a mechanic that you trust to do the repair.We charge about 250 dollars labor plus parts.Make sure you use fel- pro intake gaskets its a improved gasket design.
