I ended up taking out a plug and turning the engine till i felt the piston hit the long riptie i was holding in the hole!
It worked!

Put a cork in it would ya
I mean a wine cork in no1 cylinder, front right, it will pop on the compression stroke

I thought that on my bus for a while, turned out to be dripping from a push rod seal on to the top of the heat exchanger
Only an idea
