Where is the intake gasket located on a 2002 Chevy Malibu?

The intake gasket on a 2002 Chevy Malibu is located between the intake manifold and the engine block. To be more precise, it seals the connection where the intake manifold bolts onto the cylinder head (which is part of the engine block). There might be multiple gaskets depending on the specific engine (3.1L V6 or 3.4L V6 were common in that year). You'll find them hidden under the intake manifold, requiring removal of the manifold to access and replace.
