Can't go just by looking at the intake gaskets. Mine looked brand new (actually several set were) and still leaked like crazy.
Were your intake bolts all tight?

The intake bolts were all tight, it currently had a set of Felpro gaskets in it. Why were your intake gaskets leaking and what did you finally do to fix it?

High water presure from using a crossover and t-stat.
Also learned I had to go around on the intake bolt torque sequence approx 10x till all the bolts still retained torque. Also used the Felpro marine gaskets.

before you go any further, i would strongly suggest that you drain the oil and clean the system COMPLETELY. it will be a real pain but do it with deisel and every other trick you can find until you can put clean oil in it and get spotlessly clean oil out... then try the whole test sequence again....
you don't say but it seems like you don't really know where you were when you started... i would put 8 quarts of cheap oil in at after its spotlessly clean,, hook it back up to the muffs and do it all again... you might just find that all that water was in there before you started.and it doesn't take much to make that ugly immulsion.
you might be luckier than you think.
