Can a bad intake gasket cause water to mix with oil?
Yes, a bad intake gasket can cause coolant to mix with engine oil. Indeed a bad lower intake can cause this. Who ever said the head gasket is a moron. You can't assume this all the time. This is why you have diagnostic tools such a a compression tester and a leak down tester. For example, my compression is good, and the valves are not leaking past the specs. However, there is air coming from the lower intake. The gasket is bad. Also, it's always suggested that you change the oil after the gasket just to be sure no water got in the oil pan from doing the gasket.

What will a bad intake gasket do?
It can allow water to mix with the engine oil and destroy the engine.
