Default Just pulled my plugs... Coolant?

Well I just pulled my plugs and fixed a blown charge pipe from last night. All the plugs were pretty much fine, except the usual farthest away from the entrance of the fuel rail is lighter. But anyway cyl1 something kinda bothered me. A little green on the tip of the arm on the plug you can see it a lil in this pic. Came out kinda blurry.



Im not sure if this could be from a slightly blown HG or maybe fuel injector cleaner I used a few weeks ago? I havent been experiencing any smoke, no noticable coolant loss, no signs of coolant in oil, no signs of oil in coolant. Heres a pic I took of my radiator open with a view of the coolant



Aside from minor particles in the coolant there seems to be nothing, and it is a bright green. Anyone got any ideas? Ima try a new plug in there and check it in a few days and see.

That color is from sulfer in the gas or gas additive. Do you use BP gas? the BP stations have more sulfer in there gas than other brands.

My mom's caravan had that green ---- on it when i pulled them out the day I did the headgasket on it. I never knew what it was from. If your coolant isn't going anywhere i'd say your fine.

Ugh, flush your cooling system, and throw in a new set of plugs and re-monitor..

Yeah it is gapped a little too far. Gotta do that tomorrow. And yes it is due for a coolant flush shortly.
