Blown gasket or cracked head, which leaks coolant into the head. Sure its coolant? pics... Also hows your coolant level looking?

Just reread your post. Is it on the tip of the spark plug that within the head or where the coil connects?

There is a hose that connects under the intake that might be leaking. I would check that first. Its connected to the throttle body.

Coolant ON TOP of plugs? That's less likely a headgasket but cracked head can't be excluded from the information provided alone. Has the motor overheated or is the coolant muddy brown?
