That intake gasket separates coolant and oil from air/fuel. I would first replace the intake gasket and go from there.

If your not satisfied after that, do a compression test on all cylinders (for comparative figures) and the coolant test strips.

The gaskets are a bad design, Dexcool is not to blame for that.

Fel-Pro MS98000T are gaskets you want, I agree with Mykk....Sounds like intake gaskets.
