    It sounds like a cracked block: water in the oil. But it could also be just the head or it could be a damaged piston... either of which will require major engine work.

    A proper diag will include a leak-down test.

    Most likely, it's a cracked head. Personally, I would take it to Ford for repair.

    Yep, its likely the head that cracked. Blocks can crack from frezzing but heads usually go first from overheating.
