Several ways to deduce a blown gasket include higher-than ordinary oil pressure, coolant pressure/leaks, contaminated oil and/or antifreeze (does either resemble chocolate drink?) and cylinder compression test. Check for spark plug tips revealing white ash or gumming in the affected cylinders. Also white smoke from the exhaust, loss of coolant with no apparent leak, a white foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap, & miss on one or more cylinders.

Why is radiator fluid leaking and white smoke coming from the exhaust?
You might have a blown head gasket or your engine block is cracked. Edit to add; The white smoke is steam. That means that your coolant got into your cylinders. A blown head gasket is the most likely cause, but a cracked engine block or warped aluminum heads are possibilities.
1999 silverado overheating coolant in oil is this most likely blown head gasket or cracked head?
Neither 1, It is a common problem with that engine for the intake gasket to leak engine coolant into the engine lifter gallery / into engine oil. Replace intake manifold gasket and change oil and FILTER a couple of times. A head gasket or cracked head will not allow engine coolant to get into the oil. If you got or over HEATED the engine like real hot then you may have blown are cracked a head but I doute it. Not common, Replace intake gasket and you'll see that the engine will be okay more then likely.
