just this morning my F150 ran a little funny. it was shaky at idle but otherwise it seemed ok. Then when i was done with work i it died as i was backing out of my spot and wouldnt start. this truck has a history of low vacuum and lots of blow by. Oil smoke usually comes out the cam breather so i took the air box apart to check the filter to make sure it was not saturated. the filter was ok but i saw a yellow-brown sludge in the breather tube. I checked the oil filler cap and the same sludge was there too. It didnt smell much like oil so i checked the coolant and it was really really low. To me this sounds like a bad head gasket, i have to check the plugs yet but what do you think, i am not very familiar with the 351W
