Arlson,
WELCOME TO M&M !!

IF it isn't leaking at your intake, then possibly a head gasket has developed a leak.
Pull your sparkplugs and inspect them.
Is there any color like your antifreeze (green or orange) on the electrode end?

Are you getting any gas bubbles in your antifreeze? You may want to pull the cap off your coolant recovery tank and see if combustion gases are being blown back into the coolant system.

I'd re-check the torque of your head bolts, just to see if they're all where they should be....but it sounds like you may need to pull one head at a time and inspect the gasket for any leaks. Hopefully you'll only need to change some gaskets and not discover that you have a cracked block!

Good Luck!
Ryan
