My Guess: The part which might be broken is an "oil supply" seal galley that is adjacent to the water jacket...since the oil supply would be at a higher pressure to force the oil into the water/coolant galley, which is at a lower pressure. Correct


My Guess: #1.) Plugged/clogged fuel injector -or- #2.) Bad plug wire. Partially correct. It was a bad plug feed wire plastic insulation broken.

Did I win?
