2002 7.3 injector cups?
Currently having some issues with my 2002 7.3 with around 250k miles on it. I noticed a couple days ago I had a dark film in my coolent tank. At first I was thinking oil but it smells pretty strong of diesel. From what I have read that is pretty common with fuel leaking through the injector cups. Only thing though is from what I have read, that is common with the coolent boiling over and overheating problems, which I have had neither of. Just replaced pretty much all cooling system last year.
Tried to start the truck this morning and it will crank and seems like it wants to start but won’t turn over. Starter, alternator, and batteries are all new and good. Also, it gave off a lot of white smoke as if it was a cold start but it is the middle of summer here. White smoke kind of makes me think head gasket but not totally sure. Anyone have any other ideas or know what else I should look at before I dive into it? Thanks a bunch.

White smoke makes me think of coolant. If the cups are leaking you could be getting coolant in the mix.
