Front, nearest the battery.

Numbers are written on the cam covers, by pot 1. Front nearest air box.

Late Catera is DBW iirc, might be a precursor to failing camcovers, unlikely to be water ingress, as that normally affects cylinders 5 and 6 first...

Also possible, if the mileage is below 100k, that plugs have never been changed :-\

Caterra was drive by wire and coil pack (hence why the cylinder heads had tapped holes from 98 onwards).

But yes, cylinder two is the one nearest the oil dipstick
