1:Cylinder to water way, this can be out to water, check for bubbles in coolant when reving the engine OR water in to the engine as it cools down, this can be small, hard to turn over, to alot, engine is jammed by water
(this can damage pistons)
2:Cylinder to oil, the oil level increases, and you get white mayo etc.
3:Both 1+2

arrogant no,to the point and factual,yes.
