I've never seen an intake leak cause the gas in the oil. If the gasket isn't sealing at the cylinder heads. Well you'll have a vacuum leak and it will run terrible and won't want to idle.

I'd check the pump and carb first. Just my $.02.

yea actually thats exactly what it was. the fuel pump diaphragm was busted so i replaced the fuel pump and solved that problem. i also replaced the distributor cap and condenser and shes running pretty good. as for coolant coming out of the bolt hole, im thinking someone might have re-tapped the hole right into the water jacket, but im far from sure thats what it is. im thinking that the intake is ok for now.
