I agree with Neil. Generally if there is a leak into the combustion chamber from either a head gasket or the exhaust manifold you should find a plug or two that may look very clean. When I say "clean" it may not have any carbon on the plug anywhere as it may be literally steam cleaned during combustion. If enough water is getting into the combustion chamber a miss may develop. Also, check for signs of moisture on your dipstick.
