If the coolant is puddling around the spark plug, there is no way for
it to get there from a head gasket leak unless you have discovered the
lost lode of upsi-daisium. Twist is referring to weeps down the side
of the block, not puddling in the spark plug hole. Sorry, you've got
a cracked head.

describing the Australian model? Nah.
