recently i discovered some random roughness when the engine's running. Checked all leads and found out one of the sparkplug well has coolant in it.

i havnt taken the cams out so i cant really see any gaskets between the sparkplug and the spark plug well.

any idea is appreciated

I don't think it would be coolant, probably just water collecting in there if it was recently washed.

It happened to me Tony, when I bought our Soarer.
The car yard had cleaned the engine bay and water had got into two of the plug holes.

Just blew the water out with an air compressor, sprayed a bit of WD-40 down the holes, and it ran perfectly from then on

the water sort of creeps into the well slowly.
just wondering other than headgasket, are there any other gaskets around the area?
