Pull all the spark plugs and report back with their condition. The one or ones that look like new will be the ones with coolant in that cylinder.

Get a good quality compression tester that screws into the spark plug hole and follow this procedure.....
Warm the motor up to operating temperature.
Remove the air cleaner.
Wire the primary throttle blades wide open so the motor can breathe.
Disable the coil wire to prevent a fire.
Remove all the spark plugs so the starter can turn the crank easily.
Screw the tester nipple into a spark plug hole and snug it up on the gasket.
Turn the starter through at least 5 compression cycles to maximize the reading on the gauge.
Write down the cylinder number and gauge reading.
Repeat 7 more times.
