hey guys...this isnt bout a ranger 4.0 but the f150 i have with a 351w thats got a coolant leak somewhere, i just need an opinion. Well i have a thot of what the problem might be but just want to hear ur opinion. Anyways the motor bfor it went in my truck i found out it was recently rebuilt...and saw cross hatces on the cylinder walls from ball honing soo ya. When i was at work my bro put the timing cover and water pump on the motor and i didnt notced till after the motor was in the truck that he never pulled a what was left of a water pump bolt out. Looking at the front of the motor, the right side of the waterpump and timing cover isnt tighting cuz of that. Would yins agree with me that it could be the cause of my problem? The truck doensnt even smoke and its not over heating so kinda elminated the posibility of head gaskets ha and its rebuilt too. Oh and when i changed the fuelpump...thats where i noticed the most coolant in the oil. Just let me know what yins think, thanks.

When ya pull

the dipstick.. Is it over full? Is the oil mixed with coolant in the oil pan?
I'm asking if you see any coolant anywhere except the one time at the fuel pump.

ya it was in the pan, but i havent changed the oil since i put the motor in which has been in there for a year...hasnt ran much but i guessed that it must have been leaking since then
