Head gasket or intake gasket?
My car was losing a ton of coolant so I replaced the thermostat and put stop leak in my car. The car does hold coolant now but there is a wet spot on the ground and my oil doesn't look to good. But my car no longer runs hot or uses coolant. And it still has power. However I did notice my engine was wet on the front a few inches above the timing chain cover on the front of my intake. Could it be a bad intake gasket?

Yes it could easily be an intake gasket.
There is NO reason that it "for sure" is a head gasket.
Not a whole lot of sense in going for your own jugular. Calm down. Replace the intake gaskets. See if it fixes it. Only takes a few minutes.
