if you take the manifold off, you will see two coolant passages leaving the engine to enter the manifold. these have o-rings to seal off the coolant. The intake gasket will have two holes to allow for this. But if the manifold has ever been removed or even from just age, the o rings can go bad, dry rot or get pinched on re installation. Which will allow coolant to enter the intake. Happened on mine.

Now i am not gaurenteeing that your engine is not fooked. But its worth looking into.
