That is the only place the coolant and fuel are close to one another, injector cups are another source but I have seen some say that the only way to get fuel in the coolant is a cracked head.

Is there a way to test or just reassemble and see if happens again. I hate to pull the heads if I do not have to. Like I said before I flushed it pretty good before disassemble, then again after reassemble, then after about 10k did a reverse flush. So I don't see how it could be leftover from head job. Thanks.

The only other thing I can think of is a soap flush to
remove any residue. If it comes back after that........
I don't know but what about putting some pressure to the fuel line
and see if it will hold.????.. Would that work.

I did catch some of the coolant that was left and here is a picture. My guess is the dark brown on top is fuel. So from the consensus the only way for this to happen is cracked head or left over from previous repair. And I do not think it is left over.

A little bit it is a different smell, which I guess is the two items mixed.

I had B and B machine (that is who does BPD's machine work) do the heads two years ago when I did the head gaskets. and after reassembly my delta was 3 degrees and now it is up to 11 degrees.

That's as cheap as I could find new heads. The only alternative is getting your local dealer to price match that price to save the shipping, which is between $100 & $200.

If it's diesel, wouldn't you be able to smell it really strong? If you don't and only smell a slight hint, then it's probably oil as big inch said. Wait for experts to respond, but when my fuel pressure regulator housing was leaking I could smell strong diesel smell. Open that jug of coolant/diesel mix you posted above and smell it. It should be strong. Just my opinion.

Just go home from Bullet Proof Diesel and B & B Machine. bpd said they have seen new and or reman heads with cracks right out of the box. Their recommendation is to have the heads repaired and the have never had a repaired head fail due to the repair. B&B said it would not be that much to repair due to the fact the valve job has already been done to them. and would only take 2 to 3 days. So I think its out to the garage to pull the heads I hope to have them at B&B by3 or 4 today maybe have them back by Friday.
