HeadGasket blown?

[Cory S]

ok so today i checked my radiator over flow and it had a green oil gew in it so i drained my radiator and flushed it. NOTE i blew my oil cooler a month ago and replaced it. but i have oil dripping off the side of my motor pass side that is. but i have no coolant in my oil. and truck is running good it seems like. ugh i am stumped
update here is a pickure of my coolant and headgasket isnt blown valve cover is tho

maybe when you flushed it you didnt get every drop of oil out.

if it is a head gasket the oil will normally go to the coolant. The oil is under what 60 psi? and the coolant isn't under but 10-20 psi. And if it's running good I doubt its a gasket, they normally smoke to beat all hell when one lets loose.

yea its not smoking i just cant figure it out it is killin me!!

7.3 head gaskets are pretty tough........

[Cory S]

i hope they are

[binder man]

I'm guessing you didn't get ALL of the oil out. Headgaskets are normally smokers, and yes they are very tough, usually good to about 40 PSI however running straight water with no anti freeze can kill a headgasket over time also.

I agree you might just have not gotten it all out Cory

I don't think you got all the oil out. Run simple green threw it. Over at Ford when a 6.0 blows the oil cooler and mixes with the coolant they flush the system at least 4 times.
