Re: black coolant

Switch the "white "plug with one of the dark ones and drive it a bit and pull those two plugs again , if the #1 plug is white again you have found your leak in that cylinder , be it a Crack or bad head gasket . Before getting too crazy dump some Bars head gasket sealer in the radiator and see if that solves your #1 cylinder problem . Just a very small amount of water/coolant will give that steam cleaned / white plug look .
