Answer
I had a similar problem with my tahoe. one day my sister was driving and woosh, water was spraying out of the intake manifold. turned out the intake manifold gasket was deteriorated. so i replaced the gasket and now that solved the problem.also, you could have a hole in radiator, use leek detection product or barrrs leak to plug up leak. could also be a bad heater core .
