I had that happen once. That's a bad thing. That's either cracked head, blown head gasket, or cracked block.
Not necessarily. The intake on some vehicles, especially late models, the coolant circulates thru the intake manifold. You could have a leaking hose or leaking manifold gasket. You would have other problems like cooant in the oil or oil in the coolant if you had a cracked head/block or a bad head gasket.

How fast would antifreeze leak from the intake manifold?
The leak would vary on the size of the hole or seal failure.
If your intake manifold gasket is no good will antifreeze leak out?
Yes, you need to replace your intake gaskets.
Would new intake gasket set stop refrigerant leak?
If you are talking about A/C refrigerant / Freon leak, Then the intake has NOTHING to do with the A/C / Air conditioning system.Now if you are leaking antifreeze/ engine coolant and YOU KNOW it is leaking from the corners of the intake, Then YES you MUST replace the intake gaskets.Now you didn't say what you were working on. But if it is a V-6 or V-8 VORTEC engine then it is a VERY COMMON Problem on those engines for the intake to leak antifreeze.
Why would a Kia mini van leak antifreeze through the muffler?

Losing antifreeze but no leak?
check your oil to see if you have coolant in it. if you do your intake gasket needs changed.
If there is an antifreeze leak would it stop leaking antifreeze and then leak water?
No. they're dissolved in each other and are quite hard to seperate.
Can there be an antifreeze leak from the intake manifold but not any antifreeze mixed in with the engine oil?
there can be a leak from the intake manifold without any antifreeze mixing with your oil, i personally experienced this problem on a 1986 sentra after a changed the head gasket, i apparently had scaped a little to hard on the intake when cleaning it for new gaskets. if its a small leak it would probably just be evaporating in the combustion chamber, but it can and probably will become a problem that needs attention quickly. have a trusted mechanic take a look at it as soon as possible, maybe have them do a compression check to see if there are any possible leaks. well good luck
Can pure antifreeze leak from a cylinder head without oil traces in it and can antifreeze leak from an intake gasket?
I have a 98 Malibu and I know from experience that antifreeze can leak from the intake gasket. It cost me $400 to fix it. At first we thought it was tranny fluid because it was pink, not that! I have Dexcool in my car and that is what was leaking from the intake. Common problem for the 3800 II; GMs` later 3800s have ALUMINUM intakes; I guess they found the problem, yet they didn`t choose to fix the other cars.....bastards...
Will antifreeze leak from the head gasket if it is a manifod leak?
If it is leaking from a bad head gasket, it is because of a bad head gasket. If it is leaking from a bad intake manifold gasket, it is because of a bad intake manifold gasket.
