Hello, it seems that you have intake gaskets leaking. I'll bet you have the vortec 350. This is a common problem with the vortec, Gm uses plastic intake gaskets and they blow out over time usually to the externally but yours is internally.It is a pretty easy fix for the average mechanic to do. Thank you

Turn the key to the on position. Do not start. Pump the gas pedal all the way to the floor 3 times. This will reset the oil life. Please rate by checking one of the four thumbs ups. Thanks! Have a GREAT DAY!
High milage? Try engine cleaner, run for couple hundred miles and then use an additive like Restore. If it's just dirt this may help. Make sure you are using the correct viscosity oil for winter temps. If it's from wear only parts replacement will fix it.
i would try to flush the cooling system completely if I had to guess someone put stop leak in it when the freeze plug started leaking also check the oil to make sure there is no water in the oil
