It is possible if the leak is a "internal leak" - where the coolant is leaking inside the motor and mixing with the oil it will ruin the motor. This will eventually cause bearing failure. If it is an external leak - as long as you keep the coolant full and watch your temp gauge, you can get by for a while. Keep in mind - the leak will only get worse as time goes on.

How do you check for a blown intake gasket?
Look for leaking antifreeze/coolant. Usually you can see it leaking around the top of the engine. Also check your oil, if it looks milky it has been mixed with coolant and you intake manifold gasket is leaking. That being said, it is possible to have a leaking intake gasket with no sign of leaking antifreeze. Most intake manifold issues/leaks are coupled with poor engine performance and even sputtering and lack of power.

A manifold leak may also refer to the Exhaust manifold that is leaking exhaust fumes from a bad gasket or a crack in the manifold.
