Subject:Coolant Puddle at #4 Spark Plug Well
From:Rod Smith
Date:Tue, 3 Sep 2002 17:28:26 -0400

Hi;
Pulled my spark plugs to do a compression test as I've
been having to add more coolant than I care to lately.
Upon removing the #4 plug there was a nice little puddle
of coolant in the well area where the spark plug threads in.
I've never had any obvious leaks and I thought this was a
strange place to see coolant acumulated as there didn't
seem to be anyplace it was or would drip or leak down from.
Any thoughts on what this is a sign of would be appreciated.
BTW - Results of Compression compression test were:
#1 - 120
#2 - 125
#3 - 150
#4 - 140

Thanks!
Rod.
