Antifreeze in the sparkplug hole

FORD MUSTANG

I have a 1998 Ford Mustang GT. It has 106,079 miles. Today I was doing a tune up and when I got to the number 2 sparkplug, I pulled the boot off and noticed the boot and sparkplug were covered in antifreeze. Am I in trouble here or what? I have noticed the radiator light is on and I am going through a lot of antifreeze. Its not comeing out the tailpipe and there is no oil in the sparkplug hole either.

You are just going to have to find the leak. If its on the out side of the cylinder, that leaves a small bit of hope. But it could still be a cracked head and the fluid is just coming out there. This is really odd, and I would look to see if there are any coolant hoses running near by. If the heater core hoses run near the plug, then maybe it is leaking from there and running on the plug.
Good luck

I as well have a 2002 mustang. And I noticed white milky stuff in the engine fill tube. But not on the dip stick. Car runs fine. What could be the problem?
