I would suggest starting out by going to your local Ford dealer and forget the local radiator shop. There has been some radiator leaks, but they're not as common as the 6.4 psd setup. It seams very odd to have a radiator leak, and what your description of leaking oil and coolant sounds like the engine oil cooler, and a EGR cooler that isn't cooling properly sounds really odd. Sounds like a laundry list of questionable repairs by this radiator shop!

Get to your local Ford shop asap.... Good luck...

The ford dealer tried blaming it on radiator leak but couldn't explain thàt there is no puddle or anything wet. So my lemon law attorney said I'm still protected under lemon law as motor has 100k wstranty. He told me to have checked by independent shop. Thus Midas said its intrrnàl leaking both coolant and oil based on pressure test they did. Three is no evident radiator leak.

I wouldn't trust a Midas shop to diagnose my untied shoelace.

Just sayin'.................

LOL, the shop right beside mine is a Meineke. I only use them for putting together wheel/tire kits. Even then I check their balancing numbers.

Now this makes sense... A Lemon Law Attorney is guiding you!
