Hey I have a question. Where is the radiator cap located on the 2002 4.6? I never saw one and assumed they just didn't have one. A mechanic friend was telling me today that every engine has a cap and I just didn't see it. I had the car for over 7 yrs and never saw one. Whenever I had to add...

I was working on the steering pump yesterday and just happened to notice the coolant reservoir looked really dark. I stuck my finger in and it felt like oil was in it. What could this be? Last year, I had a cracked intake manifold. I replaced it, but never did a coolant flush. Just hoping...
