cracked head?
I took my coil over off the spark plug that was causing my misfire, and it was filled with what smelled like coolant. do I have a cracked head? maby just a bad gasket? what do you think?

sounds like a blown headgasket to me
but could be a cracked head aswell either way the gasket has to go so might as well plan to change the gasket but check the head.
or if your talking about under just the plug cover then it may be a leak elswhere and the coolant pooled there. drained your coolant lately?

For a future reference
Blown Head = Thick White Smoke
Cracked Block = Green Smoke
Fried Piston Rings = Blue Smoke
I highly doubt its cracked just check for a leak somewhere, I noticed the coilpacks on our cars don't do a very good job of keeping crap out of the chambers, atleast on my vehicle.
