Anti-Freeze Cylinder # 4

I have a 2000 Dicovery that I did the head gaskets on last June. At the time I had the heads milled at the machine shop and used the head gasket kit from Atlantic British. In the last few weeks I noticed the Antifreeze was low every few days and I began to get a Check Engine light and the code indicated misfire on Cylinder 4. The spark plug is wet with antifreeze. Does this sound like a dropped/shifted cylinder liner in cylinder 4? Thanks

Throttle body heater if it leaked internal (not likely) would impact more cylinders.
Nasty possibility is cracked block behind a sleeve. Look at it this way, you already know the head gasket job. A KSeal (block sealer) treatment may have some impact and won't hurt anything. You can also run a cooler thermostat like the 180 and perhaps block won't open up so much....

My concern was finding the antifreeze in cylinder number 4 also. I thought if the head gasket failed it would leak into cylinder 2 or 8 on that side not 4. Mike I'm sure you have seen lots of these and I hate to waste time tearing into an engine with a bad block. So mike you have seen a bad head gasket leak into the middle cylinders before? I appreciate your expertise and answer, as you can see others here assumed what I did. If you could post an answer I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
