Im posting this for a friend that has a 2003 F250 6.0L. He had a smell of coolant. Digas bottle cap was bad. Coolant was black and has diesel odor. Any one ran into this before?

Thanks Mike
If the black coolant is diesel fuel and not oil then there's a good chance he has a cracked head that is leaking fuel into the cooling system. I don't know if any of the O rings can do this? Maybe a tech will chime in. If the black is oil then it is the oil cooler and it and the egr cooler should be changed and a thorogh cleaning of the cooling system.
when my truck leaked out the injector o rings it transfered diesel into the oil. it smelled like diesel in the oil. so if it were diesel in the coolant it could be a cracked head or a bad fuel injecter cup. probably need to get it checked for exhaust gas in the coolant
