I'm not sure if you can check the spark plugs for coolant presence, but if you are burning any significant amount of coolant, it will "steam clean" the inside of the cylinders. I would pull the spark plugs and shine one of those flexy mechanics pencil lights down there and see if the pistons are sooty or shiny. Check my link for a very graphic example. http://www.hometown.aol.com/dfq193e7/index.html
good luck, Cam
