A compression leak into the coolant, would likely be the exact same thing regardless what liquid is used.

That did pop another question into my head. What happens when Evans gets sucked into a cylinder. Antifreeze is mostly Etheline glycol and believe it or not its flash point is not super far above its boiling point and it does have an autoignition temp too. Most things made from hydrocarbons do. The 50/50 mix with water helps prevent this. I suspect the Evans is hydrocarbon based and it is not mixed with water.
