How do you check for a blown intake gasket?
Look for leaking antifreeze/coolant. Usually you can see it leaking around the top of the engine. Also check your oil, if it looks milky it has been mixed with coolant and you intake manifold gasket is leaking. That being said, it is possible to have a leaking intake gasket with no sign of leaking antifreeze. Most intake manifold issues/leaks are coupled with poor engine performance and even sputtering and lack of power.

If it is not leaking externally then it is leaking internally. The intake manifold gaskets are known to leak coolant into the engine on that vehicle. Have a trusted mechanic diagnose the problem soon because coolant mixing with engine (even in small amounts) oil will cause big trouble down the road.
Can you have an electricity leak like a gas leak?
Sort of. You can have a short to ground, which is basically electricity leaking from a charged conductor to a ground. It's dissipating without doing any useful work, so it's leaking, even if it's not called that. It can also be dangerous, should you come into contact with the wire that is shorting, and it decides to ground via you.An electrician can help you with the problem, and can figure out if it's happening.

Why is there white oil burning smoke coming out of a 1986 Honda crx tailpipe?
If it is white, Then it is not oil. It is engine coolant / Antifreeze burning / leaking into the combustion chamber. You either have got it to hot and it blowed a head gasket are even have warped the head. You need to pressure test the coolant system to make sure.
If you have lost antifreeze in your car is your head gasket likely to blow even though antifreeze has now been put in?
As long as the engine didn't overheat you should be O.K.
