WHITE ON MY DIP STICK
Not sure of the type of stock gaskets you used, but these have never let me down, even on brands other than Mopar...

The stock ones are fine, but I always coat both sides. Now I'm only guessin since this is the internet. It could be something else, but I'm hopin for a best case scenario, you know?
I like to use the intake gaskets like OldmanRick posted... I coat both sides with gaskacinch and let it get tacky before installing the intake...
From the sounds of it, the leak wasn't in the oil before you changed the intake gasket... I would focus on the intake gasket since it didn't seal the first time and may be the cause of the water leak now...
Did you torque the intake bolts properly??? 30 ft*lbs....
I would pull the intake manifold again and look for witness marks on the intake, gaskets, and heads to see if you can find a leak path... Trace it from there...
If that checks out ok, then get one of those bevel angle checkers and verify the angle from the flat part of the block to the heads is the same as the matching angle on the intake manifold... THen get a straight edge and make sure the heads and intake are straight and no low spots...
Also try to fit the intake on without the gaskets and make sure it sits flush and make sure that the pins for the cork gaskets on the front and back are not interfering with the intake manifold and not letting it seat... I've seen where the locating pins for the cork gaskets do not have clearance holes in the intake and I mark and drill clearance holes for them...
While you got the intake off, check for water in the lifter galley and see if you can trace where it's coming from...
Then I would install the intake again using silicone or gaskacinch on both sides of all of the ports including the air passages and water passages... Torque the intake bolts to 30 ft*lb starting from the center outward...
Always inspect the gaskets and parts when you disassemble an engine to look for witness marks for any leaks or non-sealing areas before cleaning them up... Take pictures for future reference also JIC...
