Trouble starting first time of day and Goop in radiator
Hello I have a 1999 f550 with a 7.3 out of a 2002. I'm having trouble starting it the first time of the day, cranks and cranks and finally starts but runs rough for about 10 seconds (while giving it throttle) then purrs like a kitten. I've changed the ICM,MAP,ICP,GPR,IPR, and CMP. I've dropped and cleaned out the tank replaced the fuel pump, rebuilt the fuel bowl and installed new fuel line grommets, 2 new batteries.
Another issue I was running it for about 5 minutes and noticed coolant seeping out of coolant reservoir tank, I start to open it coolant is still cool but a lot of pressure and "boom"shoots out coolant which smells slightly like diesel and a bunch of brownish mud looking substance. I am new here but will try to figure out how to add photos

Well diesels need compression oh lord do they need compression if you have oil in your coolant then I would say that you have a blown head gasket or a Crack in your block . You will have to take your heads of to see if it is a head gasket best case scenario. But if you keep driving it you will cause more damage then you can imagine. Find out right a way. I hate to say stop driving your truck cause i love mine but please do so
