I'm baffled by seeing bubbles there when squeezing the radiator hose.
If the coolant and oil both looked normal I doubt they are intermingling.

It looks like they are not intermingled due to looks. Since I got most of it apart, gonna check for cracks. I've seen elsewhere on the forum, but can't find the link, about Ford having a recall on a faulty timing chain gasket. The damage is done and elbow grease and days spent but where could I find out if my truck has any recalls for it, it's a 04 Heritage XLT 4.2 v6 rwd

There is a website that lists recalls but can't remember it exactly, Google is your friend. Being able to wrench on your own truck is a good thing, since you are new at it there are no stupid questions

If your coolant is moving around then I doubt it would be nice and green like that. Are you sure it's not following something down to the oil pan and leaking from somewhere else?

It was the timing chain cover gasket that was bad. Now my problem lies with putting the heater hose assembly back into the water pump, the holes don't line up lol
