And if there arent bubbles, then i should lean towards fuel or spark problems ?

Still dont know what wouldof caused the antifreeze to leak out when i jacked it up.

You did do a compression check right?  Do it cold and warm.  Then you could look into spark and fuel.

^^^maybe that would be a good idea^^^^^ so my answer is no, i didnt do a compression check. Actually, didnt even think of it, but my friend has a compression tester taht i could get off of him to check that out. If compression is fine, where are the other possibilities that oil could mix with coolant ?

Heater core could be leaking too.  There is an outlet pipe that has a 90 degree bend that is there for condensation and for leaks in the core that goes through the firewall.  It's collects fluid from under the core.  Also, I had my core fail right at the firewall, the connector pipe, so that's another possibility.
This is for the antifreeze leaking when you jacked it up.

My brother mentioned that it could posssibly be something with my ignition. Possible ?
Because it seems like its running on only 1 or 2 cylinders. Is it possible that there are only 2 plugs getting spark because of a bad ignition ?
