01 Started Blowing Blue Smoke
01 7.3 247k.
Yesterday went to get on the freeway I looked back and saw a cloud of what looked like blue smoke. I'm in northern Utah and it's cold but the truck runs fine, I haven't noticed any change in performance. Turbo still builds boost. I pulled the fuel filter cap last night to check fuel color and it was clean. I do have the CCV mod done. I also pulled to IC Pipe off the turbo and there was a little oil in there but not much, should there be any at all with the CCV mod?
Just looking for some ideas on where to start. Thanks!

If your in northern Utah you just might want to get the rebuild kit for the pedestal. By Keeping the ebpv operational your truck will warm up faster in the winter time. I deleted mine because I live in Florida. But if you do decide to delete it then make sure you get the 470 ohm resister to plug in the end of the connector and the adapter where the ebpv would be.
