Intake leak?
Could a leaking intake let compression by and push coolant out of the tank when cranking the car? I pulled the intake off the car tonight, and the intake bolts felt very loose to me, like they werent torqued down at all, Maybe that was the whole problem? Here's what i see..

you prolly should start with a cylinder compression test....what do the plugs look like? sounds more like the head gasket...not the intake..

Unless running boost, intakes are always under vacuum or ambient air pressure. So no, your intake was not causing your issue

head gasket. even if it was a blown vehicle it would not let compression out of the intake. compression is in the cylinder itself and then out the exhaust. all you would loose is some coolant and boost if it was your intake.
