I have a 1996 S10 Blazer with 150,000 miles as of acouple of days ago I have had a coolant loss that is internal. I suspect a head gasket but could it be an Intake gasket? If the intake is leaking could the coolant make it to the oil?

How much coolant are you loosing? Have a compression check done. The water could go into the oil or into the combustion chamber. It it was going into the oil there would be film on the dipstick when you check the oil. If its leaking into the cylinder it would burn out the exaust.

Yes it can make it to the oil. Those intakes are common leakers. Have a shop perform a "chemical test" on the cooling system to detect exhaust in the cooling system (head gasket)
