Recently bought a B3000 2000 Mazda, 5-speed.113,000 miles.I did my first oil change today and found about 5 drops of antifreeze in the oilchange pan after sifting for debris by adding a small amount of mineral spirits to the last 1/2 ounce of oil in the pan.I barely caught it by looking at it in the sunlight.Should I concern myself? Should I try a sealer of some kind?I dont usually use radiator sealers but if its a slight leak somewhere I thought it may be beneficial. Opinions?
 
#1: Don't use radiator sealers. They will screw up your system more than they help.

#2: 5 drops of antifreeze? How do you know it's antifreeze? Could easily be condensation which occurs naturally as the engine heats up and cools down. How is your coolant level?
 
coolant level is fine.The drops were green, not clear like water.
 
I would just keep an eye on everything. If it wasn't milky and the antifreeze is nice and green and full there probably isn't an issue. Just check 'em both often.
 
Yeah, bought this for my son. The PO did brakes,ball joints,cam sensor,clutch,among others.I wont hesitate to do a cylinder head job on it, just trying to take car of the Fox Mustang first.
