Me too! You'll know for sure if you go and use it again, as it's normally a hairline crack in No.3 that only opens up enough when the engine is hot and the cooling system is pressurised. That cylinder then is a struggle to fire until the water clears.

Keep an eye on the header tank for loss of water or if becoming excessively pressurised . Fingers crossed it was just a tired plug .
