How would a person know if his gasket heads are leaking on a 1995 Chevy truck?

I had a 95 Chevy truck like ours.When my heads started to leak I noticed the oil got real milky/brown from coolant getting in the oil. I removed the heads and found out the 350 Chevy motors will start leaking on the ends of the heads when the motor gets a lot of miles on it. After fixing it,I gave this truck to my son and now it has over 300,000 miles on it and still running strong! You can get a leakdown test done to see how tight the top-end is.

Leaking what???It is not common for a head gasket to leak. I would check all 4 corners of the intake real CLOSE for antifreeze and oil. I mean close.If oil sending unit,are the back of the intake is leaking. oil will run down around the heads and make the heads look like there leaking. Make sure you look at the back of the intake real good.

Is it common for intake gaskets and head gaskets to blow on a 99 Tahoe?
From 1996 to late 1999 There was a problem with the intake gasket design on the Vortec engines. They have sents redesigned the gasket and now it does not leak as often. Intake Gaskets leaking is a common problem. Now the only time you have a problem with the heads is when the engine is over heated, and I mean HOT. Then the heads warp and the head gaskets leak or blow. Chevy just don't have problems with the heads on the V6 and V8 engines.
