Does it run bad? If so, remove the sparks plug one at a time. Check for water or oil deposit on spark plug. There is only two type of liquid, oil or water. If it was gas it would have evaporate. If it is oil it will foul the sparkplug making the engine run bad. If it is water you will find rust on spark plug. Bad head gasket can cause an oil leak. If it is oil you would be buring blue gray smoke out the tail pipe. The oil would foul the spark plugs and make the engine run bad. Water evaporates and make a lite gray smoke. You would have to keep adding water.
