coolant problems maybe...
 
I have a 1999 camaro 3.8 auto I notice that it was using coolant so I pressure tested it saw coolant making its way out the back of the intake so I replaced the intake with the steel gaskets instead of plastic I also changed the valve covers they were leaking. Seems now the coolant in the radiator leaks down about a inch below the flews is this normal or am i leaking/ burning coolant what could be the problem/s

pressure test it again. hows the oil look?

so your losing coolant? so no coolant in oil? did you change both intake gaskets? upper and lower. probly be a good idea to do a compression test on all cylinders. could be a headgasket starting to go.
