I got the intake off today and it was def the lim gasket. one of the coolant passages on the back side finally let go. The coolant was an orange color but when it came out of the exhaust, i remember it being bright green and there was still some red coolant (not diluted with green coolant) in the overflow canister. I really dont know what that guy did to it, but thank you for your help. Im just going to go ahead and put it back together with new gaskets after i do a quick compression test on it. Hopefully everything turns out ok...
