If there is coolant in your oil on the dip stick, it's a blown head gasket. It will look like chocolate milk.
You will need to replace the intire intake Gasket if you are SURE it is leaking were the gasket goes. On most of those engines it will be a BAD intake and ford redesigned the intake manifold. But it sounds like it has already been replaced scents it has got the alum. crossover bar. You need to look real close at the gaskets.
Drain coolant, disconnect the battery. Disconnect the coolant line, replace the thermostat with a new one. Do not forget to replace the gasket too. Reconnect the line. Refill coolant, connect the battery.
About $40 for the gasket... And about book value of your car to replace them.
When it was damaged. If you don't have coolant leakage, but the level collant drops down it means you have internal leakage of coolant. You must replace the head gasket of course if want to drive your car. van over heats
I own a 2004 and its a piece of crap, screw cadillac for producing good looking cars with crappy drivetrains. If you dont have a leak , it most likely will be your head gasket. Its making your coolant evaporate.
