The driver side cylinder head is leaking! 1st and 2nd has coolant in the spark plug hole 3rd has oil in the spark plug hole. Is this a cracked head or bad head gasket seal? :mado:

Probably a bad head gasket...unless you have ran her very hot lately.

Do you mean with the spark plugs still in (on top of them)? or in the cylinder when you take em out ?

I had a pool of antifreeze on top of the block and surrounding the plugs in my Jensen turned out to be a leak that under pressure blew excess antifreeze that pooled around the plugs.

Either way, you're gonna hafta pull the head to fix it.

If its the HG, you'll see the water stains on the sealing surface.

Make sure you have the head checked for warpage, and pressure tested.

You'll need HG set, timing belt, and should replace the water pump while you have access to it.
