If there is coolant in the oil, there are issues to address for leaking gaskets or cracked parts. If the "rod" is a pushrod for the valve train, no it is not fatal yet. Sticking valves can bend the pushrods easily. If the valve train is moving, I suggest the following: Use a good penetrating oil Kroil, PB Blaster, or Auto trans fluid, and put it on the valve stem inside the spring where the guide and valve stem meet. Use a plastic faced hammer and tap on the valves that are stuck. They will either drive down farther, or start to come back up. Do not drive them like a nail, tap tap tap. If they move down more than a eighth of an inch, use flat bars and or big screw drivers to pry them back up. Keep at it till they all stay up. Put the pushrods back where they belong, and adjust the valves. Condensation in cold to then moist air can create the "dew" you found. With good oil in it, and safety in mind, if it seems free in the valve area, start it. Jim
