Your lower intake gaskets are probably leaking. This is a common problem with the engine in your Tahoe. If there are no external leaks, the leak can be inside of the engine. In this case oil will become contaminated with coolant -- which will lead to serious damage to the engine..Drain and check the oil asap.
