Does it smell like diesel as well? Sounds like you have cracked injector cup(s). I have never done them but they seem easy enough to change out.

This happened to my truck 4 years ago...Took it to the local dealer, and they said they found 4 out of 8 cracked. I had them all replaced. $1800.00.

Looking back, I should have asked to see all 8 of them.

Just be sure you completely flush the entire cooling system and remove all diesel fuel from the cooling system, you'll be spending more money if you don't.
