F350 Heater Issues

A few days ago I noticed my truck was leaking a clear fluid. It felt oily but couldnt figure out wear it was coming from. Now the heater is out. Only cold air blows and there is a white colored stain over much of the engine on the drivers side. I have read other formus that speak of a valve, a seal, the heater core...
So now im asking here before I tear into this. Any suggestions?
Oh and I have 90k miles and there isnt any warranty.
Thanks
Jeff

You very likely have a coolant leak and it sounds like a significant one. I don't know enough about 6.4's to suggest where you might start looking. There is a forum specifically for that engine, you might get better information there.

I thought all Ford diesel engines had a 5 year 100k mile warranty. You should still be within that.
