Sump oil level increasing ? Coolant sits below oil until it eventually reaches oil pump intake then mixes to a mayonnaise over time

Inlet manifold leaking gasket or gasket not being squeezed enough? Rough running from cold? Cleaner looking spark plugs on cylinders 1&2? Compared to 2&3?

Water pump leak, I’ve just changed mine at the weekend.

Manifold gasket?
Any red staining down the back of the engine?.
I rarely saw any coolant under the car when mine went, it evaporates as it runs down the hot engine block but leaves pink/red stains as it dries.
