Exclamation Burning Coolant Fast

Well first thing first, truck caught on fire a while back, near the front right side next to the distributor burnt the wires bad and what not still ran, drove it like that for a year and finally got around to fixing it, put in a 94 distributor and new injectors, and connectors and a new knock sensor wire, got it all back together and it had to tweak the distributor a bit, then the ignition went out, cold start wire was piniched under intake manifold, got that all taken care of. but the big problem is once it runs for about 15 mins it starts buring white smoke like crazy, drove it for bout an hour and the truck over heated, thats when i figured it was a coolant leak and chocolate color stuff in the oil not on the bottom end just the top end of the motor checked all hoses and connections they all look in the right spots but cant figure it out. need help on this one, i dont think it could be the head gasket casue it never did that before, only one i took of the intake it started this put in new gaskets all around, so not sure where it would be leaking into the motor from at all, the mototr has about 30,000 miles at the most on it any ideas would be nice.

Its going to be one of three things, blown head gasket, cracked head, or the intake is leaking were it bolts to the head.

The heads are brand new and the gaskets look good from what i can tell so im thinking it has to be the intake where it bolts to the head

if you're seeing peanut butter under the oil cap... game over...
let me guess... v6? is it a 5spd? do you still have 5th gear on the highway?
Chances are its the headgaskets, very common for the v6 lots of threads on it here. Use our search feature and use they key words of head gasket v6. Pull the plugs changes are you'll see that cylinder 4 and 6 are where you'll see the blown gasket to be. Fyi.. if you dont' believe me... its just gonna get worse.
