put a radiator pres. tester on the rad. pump it up to the recomended presure and watch the gauge to see if it drops and how fast. you should not see a quick drop off.

You could do a compression test or leak down test before you tear it down also to look for weak cylinders.

If your in CT and need to borrow a Radiator Pressure tester, let me know. I have one you can borrow. I'm in Meriden.

If it is not mixed with the oil, just clear it's probably condensation...
