My truck started overheating the other day. I replaced the thermostat and topped off the coolant and when the radiator was nearly full, I noticed cool pant pouring out of what seemed to be, the oil pan gasket. Could this be a head gasket issue? I checked the oil on the dipstick and its normal. I need some advice
if the oil pan was pouring coolant out you'd see it on the dip stick. My guess would be the thermostat housing didn't get seated all the way. Did you put the thermostat in the housing then the gasket on top. I use a little bit of rtv silicone on both sides of the gasket just to hold everything in place since there thermostats in kind of a tight place on the 5.0's
You can replace some of the freeze plugs with the motor still in the truck. I thought i had one leaking but it ended up being a broken head bolt that was leaking coolant out between the head and the block. It is tricky to figure where coolant is leaking from, there are a lot of places it leaks down from.
