Question for anyone who has an answer. I have a 2000 f-250 with a 5.4 triton. I left for work today, and next thing you know, its shooting oil out of the ratiator resivor(completely full of oil). Well a guy told me that the oil coolant is in the radiator. Replaced radiator. Still coming out. But it's coming out around the oil filter also. I haven't ran it much. I have a feeling there's a hose near the oil cooler(which is right above the filter, found it) and hose is busted and getting oils and water mixed up, however there's no water in the oil from what I can tell. Anyone know anything I dont? That could really help.

 

Check your intake manifold. It is made of plastic and may be cracked.

Otherwise you may have a failed head gasket.

 

Check your oil cooler. It is located directly above the oil filter and has 2 hoses connected to the cooling system. The oil filter mounts to the cooler. There is usually more oil pressure than coolant pressure--that's probably why you have oil in the coolant and not the other way around. The cooler has probably ruptured internally.

Spot on - this happens on the V10s too... Most likely it rotted through.

 

That's what I thought but I didn't want to spend the money to get a new cooler. Thanks guys!
