The leak from the intake could be attributed to trash in the threaded boss or the threads of the bolt that don't allow it to tighten properly. As far as the radiator losing water, have you noticed any white smoke or coolant leaks? I would think if you were leaking coolant internally you would notice it in the oil, although I'm not certain about this. The milky residue on the valve covers could just be condensation from the motor. Is it around the breather or PCV?
