I'm really hoping there isn't an issue.

Has anyone tried the chemical tester kits? If so, which one is preferable, and have you had success? Also, would a compression/leakdown test cause/worsen the problem?
We used a radiator exhaust gas tester on mine and it came up negative. We used a borescope with an iPhone and saw coolant in #6 after sitting.
