Head Gasket issues?

Does the V10 have head gasket issues I didn't know about? I have some in my fleet and I've never run into any before. Just curious.

Some of the early 6.4 diesels had head gasket/ coolant leak issues, among other problems.

Just wondering. I saw a minor amount of snot in the oil fill after I brought my new to me 99 home. Seems to be going away now. The truck sat quite a bit and was only driven short distances recently. I would guess it's condensation that needs to be burned off.
Doesn't smell like the coolant snot I've seen in the past, more like burned oil smell. Time will tell.
