If it was the intake gaskets you would have coolant in the oil (or an external leak) not oil in the coolant.Your heat probably quit because the heater core is gelled up. Pull your heater hoses off and backflush the heater core.You probably have a cooler issue. Is the tranny fluid full?

the lower intake manifold gaskets on the fwds crack at the coolant passages on all for corners of the head draining coolant into the oil (best diagnosed by pulling off the oil cap and lookin at the butterscotch pudding). i've never noticed any oil in the radiators of the close to 100 3.1/3.4 gm cars i've put intake manifold gasket sets on. my best guess for you is head gaskets. here's an idea, drain your oil and leave the oil drain plug out, fill your coolant system up with water and pressure test it. if water exits out the oil drain plug then it is most likely your lim gaskets. i say this because if its the head gaskets oil pressure is greater than the pressure than that of your cooling system which would put oil in the radiator rather than the usual milkshake symptoms of a lim gasket. worth a shot.
