There is often condensation inside the crankcase that appears when the engine cools down. You often see it on the inside of the oil filler cap too. Nothing to worry about usually.

I think this is what I had. No water in the oil and the plugs looked okay, except number 6 with a broken insulator. Other than that new plugs and oil change. It does look like I am losing some coolant, that with condensation in the oil and I think I over reacted. Fortunately I checked all these things before ripping off the head.
You guys have been very helpful, more so than the Lexus forum. Felt like I was cutting in on the mechanics kids chrismas by not taking it to a dealer. More money to throw at the truck, which is more fun anyway.
