Please see pictures. This is becoming a common occurrence. After a run and then sitting coolant will sit in spark plug areas of cyl 1 & 2.
 
It kind of looks like it leaks down from thermostat housing but cyl 32spark plug is the one the that has most coolant in it and there is a rise in head casting between cyl 1 & 2 which with car stored on flat ground defeats logic if it were to come from thermostat housing.
 
How could it be getting there? Could head be porous or cracked?
 
Thanks,

Head gasket leaking allowing coolant to leach up past the head bolt?

I would conduct a pressure test of the cooling system.
Hopefully this will show you where the coolant is coming from.
Good luck finding the leak.
Cheers

Thanks Paul and Craig.
I will check tension on head bolt but sounds like pressure test is the go.
