Coolant in the oil?

If what he said doesn't prove true, try checking the valve cover gasket-it may be leaking from the coolant passage to the timing gears and pumping straight from the pump to the crankcase.

Thank you so much for all the info. Can you possibly send me the list you were referring to? Also, do you have any idea what another motor might cost? Any ideas where to look for one? Of course, we are not sure what is exactly wrong with it yet. Have to take it and someone check it out. Again, thanks so much for all your help!

I am new to this site and I didn't quite know how to navigate around it!

My husband was driving home today and his truck started making a "noise". He was watching his gauges and the truck never ran hot, temp had increased, but not to the running hot point. He checked the water reservoir and it was empty. He filled it back up, the noise stopped. Water reservoir became empty. He filled it up again, drove a little ways, noise started again, stopped checked water, had small drops of oil in reservoir. Took water pump off, drained oil, there was approx. 4 to 5 gallons of water in oil. What could this be? Blown headgasket? Blown intake gasket? Bad water pump? The truck never ran hot, never had steam coming from under hood or tail pipe. It has the 4.6 liter.

Hi I have a 1997 ford f-150 that has the 4.6 liter triton v8. I am experiencing a problem where the engine oil is mixing in with the engine coolant, but the coolant is not mixing in with the oil. Do you know what could be causing this problem.
