Coolant in number 5 cylinder

[Indy500]

I have a 1997 Aurora with coolant in number 5 cylinder. The engine has 215,000 miles on it. The garage wants to replace the engine with a used one(59,000). The cost would be $3000.00. Anyone had experience with coolant leaks in a cylinder or engine replacement?

Sounds like a blown head gasket to me.
