Can you smell a coolant leak at the head gasket?
The head gasket sits between the head and the engine block if it is leaking out where you can see the coolant, yes you can smell the coolant if it is leaking into the engine no you cannot smell the coolant. You can check the oil to see if it has coolant in the oil if it does then the head gasket might be blown.
Why is your 1996 Silverado burning coolant?
by "burning coolant" do you mean that there is the smell of burning coolant? or do you mean that your coolant level is constantly needing to be topped off and you don't know where it is going? if you smell burning coolant you have a leak somewhere and its probably dripping onto the exhaust. you need to find the leak. if you are constantly leveling off and there is no coolant leaking under the vehicle it could be a blown head gasket. check your oil for coolant contamination. pull the dip stick and check the color of the oil: dark, almost black in color=good; lite creamy brown (like creamy coffee) =blown head gasket. or it could be a blown intake manifold gasket instead of head gasket. 1996 silverado has a two piece intake manifold, an upper and lower intake manifold.

Can be many things, but considering you just changed the intake gasket, I would suspect you did it incorrectly or have knocked a vacuum hose loose somewhere. You have a vacuum leak somewhere.

What causes 1984 Oldsmobile ninety-eight to show smoke from top of engine when shutting off?
Its one of two things. First, either the intake manifold is leaking coolant between the intake and the head. The gasket is pinched in the driver side rear. or Its an oil leak from the valve cover at the passenger side rear. You can tell by the smell- it can either smell like oil or antifreeze steam.
