Do you mean the coolant is external in the spark plug hole
or internal in the combustion chamber? If it is external,
possible intake gasket leak. If it is internal, possible
head gasket.

If it is in the combustion chamber, it is most likely the
head gasket. Are you sure it is not just a plug wire
shorting to ground? Do you get any white billowing smoke at
start-up? I've seen a lot of head gaskets leak externally,
but very rare to see them leak internally.

Might want to take it to a professional to have it checked
out.
