Antifreeze in spark plug chambers

[Slithers]

Getting a build up of antifreeze at the bottom of the HT lead and spark plug in hole number 2, on me 1991 valver.

An ideas on how this could be creeping in?

cheers folks

Doesn't sound good.

eeer the obvious thing is you need to find a leak mate as there more than likely will be one!

porosity, crack?

got pics, or get t pressure tested.

[case]

As said in CS could be haed gasket, are you sure its coolant? Not just rain water?

[Slithers]

Head gasket got rteplaced not too long ago, dya think it could be a crack in the head?

[case]

Are there any leaks anwhere else or is it just getting into the spark plugs? Why was the head gasket replaced? If because it had blown before maybe the head needed skimming? Maybe it wasn't replaced properly? Who carried out the work?

hehe lot of questions there.

[BenR]

Well, its more than likely not cracked, but coolant in the plug wells.......no real way for it to get there.

[case]

As said above are you sure it is coolant? Sorry if thats patronising(sp) but it can be mistaken.

The head gasket was replaced because the head gasket blew in September last year IIRC, on the way home from purchase, cos the temp shot up and i pulled over and waited for it to cool down but ended up getting a tow home.

Its definatly coolant as its blue, the same blue as my coolant.

Thing is it kind of creeps in gets to a certain level in the well then stops where it is (bout 15mm at its worst)

Would some forte rad leak possibly cure or stall the problem?
