Default Got my zc today. Have a few questions

OK it looks good and even came w/ a clutch. But on the #4 cylinder there was a liquid filled to about the height of the spark plug. I don't know how it got there or what it is. It isn't oil cause it is real runny. And it isn't gas cause it doesn't smell like gas. It looks like it could just be dirty water. But how could it get there? If it came in through the cylinder wouldn't it seep back in while the engine was upright? Thanks for the help.

Oh one other thing. On the back left of the intake manifold there is a black thing about the size of a 50 cent coin. And it is broken. What is it? and where can I get a new one. I know IM not very detailed but it the best i can do

Might be coolant, but then again maybe the sparkplug was loose and when it sat in a junkyard water could have gotten in

if the headgasket was blown or the valve cover wasn't on tight it'll give you muddy water, a beige-like water, check the oil pan. I say the if valve cover wasn't on tight only because if they power washed it it could happen, it happened to me. yep yep
