Cylinder 6 misfire

Woke up today to a engine light (cylineder 6 misfire). After pulling the plugs, they were due....this was the result. 231k on the engine.

How is your coolant level?

funny you should mention....had a crack in the radiator and was filling every so often. Had the radiator replaced 1 month ago. Was low on fluid today. Have judiciously been watching for a basic leak, and dont see one. Was thinking that its bleading through into the engine, but id did not show up on the emisions report.

The reason I mentioned it was that I have the same misfire code pop up sometimes and it seems as though the problem is a faulty head gasket. It is supposed to be a pretty common problem on 2004 models with the v6.

I have a 05 but I think the music is clear. Not going to spend the 2k on a head gasket though in a engine with 230
