I have had trouble with water in the plugs before ,,, but I solved this,,, BUT now I have a green substance getting into the plugs, What is this?

Where could it of come from?

Is it coolant? Oil? or both?

I replaced tha rocker gasket 4 weeks ago so it shouldent be that.

Could there be a crack in the head allowing coolant to seep through?


ARRRRRGGGHHHHHHH HELP ME

green counds like coolant.

Core plugs can go. If you remove the rocker cover you should see the core plugs, if there are full of the green crap theres your problem.

Obviously if the coolants shit brown in colour and has been for years then its something else!

why do you need to replace the rocker cover again ,it should be resuable after a good clean unless its ripped or something
