That's coolant in cylinder one.
I tried I different set of fuel injectors along with all new o-rings and one of the fuel injectors I put in ended up being bad. When I started the car it ran with a dead miss. Pulled the plug on cylinder one after identifying that it was the cylinder not hitting a pulled out a plug soaked in coolant. I removed all the spark plugs along with the coil wire and injector clips then cranked the engine over with the starter a bit. What came out of cylinder one is partially on the paper towel. The rest went on the windshield and bottom side of the hood.
The head gasket has been blown since I bought the car. That's why it missed at start up. What's bad is now it smokes all the time and misses at low RPM's due to the coolant consumption in cylinder one. I think when that bad injector was installed it somehow caused more damage to cylinder one.
I also think it has water in the oil now as well but I cannot confirm that for sure yet. I'm currently weighing my options. If I was able to change the head gasket that would obviously be what I would do. But I don't have the funds and I'm limited on time as well. Whatever I do is going to have to be temporary.
I have no problem shoving a different power plant in it in November or December. I need this thing to run just another 1500 miles or so. It doesn't overheat or anything. Honestly I'm thinking head gasket in a bottle. As much as I'm totally against it I literally have no good long term option.
