Sounds to me like you have a cracked coolant crossover on the intake manifold, or maybe a leaking t-stat gasket--there's not much else that could get coolant into the #5 plug well...

i replaced the intake months ago, although i did just do the t stat last weekend. im gonna take a wild guess and say i didnt install the gasket very well around the water inlet.
