Around that time (93) ford had a supplier problem with crap head gaskets on the 3.8 twin cam V6 so it could be just a bad head gasket. If you have the, Vulcan 3.0 OHV engine, then, I bet you a dime to a dollar that you have a cracked head. The 5.0 is rock solid so I could not tell you. The gasket kit is about 66$ for either V6 and I don’t know about the V-8
Geesh I wish I knew it all that way I could be condescending
If I squatted on a mirror and looked at my ase, I guess I would start changing my exhaust manifold gasket to….. But I think that if I looked at my car I would look real close at the intake gasket when I took the thing apart. I did see one bad on a GM but that was 1 in 28 years
And lets face it there is no mistaking that smell of anti-freeze after the engine is hot and steaming out the tail pipe
Translation… good info and SVO is correct
PS
all of my automotive training is from HSK (the Hard School of Knocks) and I have a post graduate degree from U of F.O..

Are you sure it's coolant, and not condensation???
