If you had antifreeze in just one cylinder, You would have a smoke show everytime you let up on the gas peddle, out the exhaust pipe btw. It happened to me.

I would change new plugs and run them for a few thousand miles and pull and check them to see where you are at.

does'nt sound good. How many miles on her? It sounds like a blown piston,did you do a compression test on that cylinder? That will tell you if the rings are good In that cylinder or at least they are all the same. ( the other cylinders).

"blue-ish" smoke is not a good sign. In my experience, that's not coolant that's oil. You will have some pretty extensive repairs coming soon my friend.
