Yes , engine coolant can get in an engine cylinder from a bad head gasket , a
warped or cracked cylinder head , a bad intake manifold gasket etc.

What would cause coolant to get in 1 cylinder?
a leak in a head gasket could cause coolant to go into only one cylinder.
Can a head gasket leak without overheating or coolant loss?
It is possible that the gasket could leak between cylinders. The overheating and coolant loss would happen if the gasket was failing around the coolant passages.

Is it possible the head gasket(s) are gone and a cylinder has filled with coolant causing "hydraulic lock-up"?
What does a spark plug look like on blown head gasket?
Could have water (coolant) on it, or oil. If you are worried about a blown head gasket, be less concerned about spark plugs and check to see if coolant is in your crankcase, (motor oil) or vice versa.....oil in your radiator. It is possible for an engine to become hydrolocked, or seized, from coolant in a cylinder with both valves closed. But even if the engine is not seized pull spark plugs to see if there is coolant in cylinder. If there is, bad news. Do a compression check also............David

You have a 1998 dodge stratus-it starts to over heat and the coolant is muddy a little thinner than tooth paste but the oil is fine can anyone tell you what it is?
Your engine is mixing oil with the coolant. It could be a burned cylinder head gasket or a crack in the "cylinder head". It you continue to use the car, you will have coolant in the oil.
What could be the problem if your 93 Legacy has a flooded cylinder reeks of gasoline sputters and white smoke comes out the tailpipe?
Answer White smoke is usually from burning coolant in the combustion chamber of a cylinder. I would suspect a cylinder head gasket failure. Usually also will have oil and coolant mixed in the oil pan and possibly the radiator.
