Coolant on outside - OK

Coolant on inside - BAD

Check for collant in OIL and in vacumm hoses. Vacumm can suck coolant into engine. If car is running fine it will burn off eventuallly but will run rough till it does.

Pull plugs and crank engine to purge any in cylinders and check plug tips for coolant.

Not sure what you mean on the valve nut thing?
