100,000 mile club

I have 100,100 miles on my 1997 F150 supercab 4.2L V6. Had no problems until I hit 70,000 miles and replaced the timing chain cover gasket. From this point on, I felt the idle was lower than it should have been, but the truck ran well.

Now at 100,100 miles I noticed a loss of coolant without any external drips/evidence. Noticed the oil was emulsified under the fill cap. I assume it is due to the ongoing problems with the 1997 4.2L V6 manifold / timing cover gaskets.

Bringing into the shop tomorrow to be checked out.
