This was what leaked out overnight the night I found the “problem”.

The spray pattern looks more like the top of the radiator. When G05 dries, it drys while. While not a great coolant for a 6.0, it’s heat for tracking leaks in any Ford product that uses it.

Glad to hear you made it home. I hope you do find something other than headgaskets. The fan spraying coolant that hits it sounds plausible. Don't trust the temp gauge on the dash though. Its nothing more than an idiot light and if it goes up its too late. Get yourself that edge insight and monitor your deltas.

Agreed. He's earned his right to not like the 6.0 and post in the relevant threads, especially because he's only sharing his experience and not pushing an agenda or posting like he has an axe to grind.

Me? I'm trying to find another 6.0 to add to my garage.

Glutton for punishment.

Yes, you can get screwed and still be helpful.

Looking at the more recent pictures, I agree it doesn't look like that stomach-churning milkshake. I can only hope on your behalf that it won't be nearly as drastic as I first predicted.

Glad you got home without further incident, looking forward to the report on the ultimate outcome!
