You sir, have no clue what you're talking about. How would replacing the intake manifold gasket have ANYTHING to do with coolant level?

I wouldn't worry about the coolant drop, but you need to do a compression check like everyone is asking. The coolant dropping could just be it settling inside the radiator and engine. It's not a big deal unless you get a lot of white smoke while the car is running and/or coolant on the ground under the car.
