Need help fast.
I have found lots of fluid coming out of the degass bottle. Is the coolant in these trucks smell and taste different that typicall antifreeze? This smells like turpentine. No truble lights engine runs good..don't know if it is safe to drive. The fluid is not milky but very greasy. It coated the underside of the truck and left a puddle on the ground. Any thoughts? This is my daily work truck and need help. I. Don't haul. 06 f350

did you just top it off? the min line that is on the bottle is realy the max line, they were mismarked at factory. The factory fluid is kind of gold looking, if it had oil in it you would see it. any mods to the truck? that will help diagnose it.
probably a EGR cooler failure caused by a blocked oil cooler, water passes through the oil cooler first then to the EGR cooler and if the oil cooler /water passages/ get clogged the water can steam in the egr cooler and it can rupture inside. You probably have some smoke coming out of the exhaust, if it smells kinda swee then it is coolant. |
If it's continually blowing out of the coolant cap, you've either got a ruptured egr cooler, or bad headgaskets, and either way I wouldn't really drive it right now. It could hydrolock.

I love that picture, it looks like smoke coming out of the door like Cheech & Chong was driving.:w2:

There was smoke rolling out from where the hood meets the fenders... it was a good one.
