"Oil-Coolant Mixture In Spark-Plug Sleeves"
My truck is a 98, 4.6, 272k. I've had plug-fouling issues recently. I recently changed a plug on driver's side, and noticed oil on plug threads. Just the other day, #7 mis-fired. As I dropped the socket in the sleeve to remove the plug, I heard a "splash". Pulling the socket out I noticed oil and coolant. There is no leakage noticeable on the driveway. I have been told it is probably a head gasket, and it would be a major job. Given the mileage, I'm thinking of just pulling the engine and replacing it. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
