96 camaro 3.8 with oil in antifreeze

After trying to search for an answer I couldn't find one. How can I test to find out if its a head gasket thats leaking or the intake. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

You could pressure test the cooling system and look/ listen for leaks.. but I am willing to bet that it is your intake manifold middle gasket, it's very common on those engines. I've done several in Camaros and Grand Am's.
