Hi there,

First check if you have an integrated oil cooler in the radiator and that it has not failed and is leaking into the cooling system, if that is ok, then the problem will be an engine related problem, possibly a crack head at a oil pressure gallery.

I have a 2003 F-250 6.0 with the same problem. If you have an A/T then the only thing we have in common that could be the problem is the radiator is bad???
