intake gasket is sweating coolant?

Just saying, the taste of antifreeze is unmistakably sweet.
Jus asking, were the decks shaved?

I took a bunch off my decks and the job was crap; on the one side, the surface went downhill towards the firewall. On the other it was downhill to the rad. And neither side was 90* to the other. So when brand new Edelbrocks went on and a used iron intake, she sucked air everywhere.
I reasoned that an alloy intake might twist into working for the rest of the summer, and it did. But the following winter I took the engine out and had a different shop straighten it out and then installed a new AirGap, problem solved.
