oil in coolant

Hi I'am new to this site I have a 1997 f-150 with a 4.6 it looks like I have oil in my coolant. When I check my oil the oil is clean and there is no coolant in it.I was wondering if it could be my oil cooler or what and if I should worry about it the truck runs fine with no problems

thanks in advance for any help
Don

mileage? are you sure its oil in your coolant? drain it out to verify. if the trucks coolant system has never been serviced then it could just be really dirty in there.

if it is oil in it then either your oil cooler, head, or head gasket are at fault.
