With your descriptions of symptoms, you likely have a tiny coolant leak into a cylinder which is not big enough to affect performance, and would take a while to show a loss in the radiator. A tiny leak will steam clean the combustion chamber and the spark plug. I would recommend you take another look at all of the plugs. Rather than looking for water, look for one of them which is cleaner than the others. If you were to pull the head, you would likely find one cylinder with a very clean piston top.
