Rebuilding top end
Leaking intake manifold gaskets on these cars are common. Just replace the intake manifold gasket and flush the radiator and block. Do not use Dex-Cool antifreeze anymore. It is a fact that the Dex-Cool reacts with the material the intake gaskets are made with.

Rebuilding top end
The intake gaskets are most likely bad if you are losing antifreeze and cannot find it. Antifreeze is probably leaking into an exhaust port, heating up and evaporating. Is it easy to take the exhaust manifold lose from the heads?

Okay, I guess I'll replace then even though there is no evidence at all that they are bad since the shop found the problem.
