head gasket leak can show itself by bubbling in the reservoir, the intake manifold will not.
A head gasket leak can show lower compression, the intake manifold will not.
Exhaust gasses mixing with coolant shown by testing coolant, manifold will not.
I’m sure there are others but that’s what I could think of for now.
From the little time I’ve been on here it seems head gasket failure is more common but I could be wrong.

I'm tending towards HG for sure in my case.
I went through most of the sticky thread on HG issues and it seems that weeping is how it starts. Coolant leaks into the cylinder when cold and the gasket seals back up when hot, which would make most of those tests obsolete besides going in with a borescope.
