Hey guys,
So a few weeks ago I noticed the car running a bit rough and when out for a cruise, the check engine light started to blink on acceleration - but then went away. Got home and hooked up the laptop, checked the history and see a ton of misfire counts for cyl 8. Figured, okay let me change all the plugs since I have not done that since I bought the car.
Well, just pulled the covers off to get to the COPs. Noticed condensation on the cover, and the smell of antifreeze. Great - so I start pulling each COP, everything clean besides the cyl nearest to the firewall, left side (is that cyl 8? Need to check the shop manual). The boot had brown crud all over it, and I see a tiny bit of fluid in the spark hole.
I checked all the other cylinders, everything is OK. Is this a bad gasket, or worse?

I really, really don't want to get my motor lift out of the shed....
