Yes, the intake gasket is notorious for failing on S-10's around 100,000 miles. It should not cost more than $400 to replace. The original gasket is made with plastic and rubber, but the new problem solver kit fixes the gasket w/ a new gasket that is made of metal w/ rubber inserts. The water pump is also notorious for failing around 95,000 miles if that has not yet been a problem for you. Hope this helps.

It is not common what so ever for a head gasket to allow antifreeze to get into the oil when they blow. Need to check intake gasket first. If we did not help you then ask your question again.
