there wouldn't be any coolant in the oil if your intake manifold gasket is shot. so its the gasket.

A cracked block or cylinder head would render the motor unstartable, so that's a lie from the mechanic. Find a different one you can trust.

Where is the egr valve on a 92 Pontiac Lemans 1.6 ltr?

The EGR valve is hidden under the air filter box. It lies on top of the intake manifold, just in front of the throttle body. It will have a vacuum line leading to the T.B. as well. Test it by sucking on it's hose and feeling under the round dome. The valve should move, and not return until you let air back in.
