Yes! on the top of my head, intake manifold. loosing coolant so you would have coolant going into the oil instead of oil going into the coolant, right?

are you losing any of this mixture or can you see the oil level rising significantly?

good luck bro

Yep. Intake gasket. Years ago I was sold head gaskets/valve job as I didn't know any better. Pressure test the cooling system and see what happens.
