Related problems??
I had my mechanic diagnose my 05 6.0L with a dead cylinder, #5 to be specific. After messing with it he said it was probably in the head and I was unwilling to pay the 15 hrs to R&R the single head so I took it home to make a mess by myself. I haven't made it to the head yet but in the process I was tearing into it and the turbo piping has an excessive amount of pooled oil in it. Could this be related to the dead cylinder, I do assume it must be part of the reason the exhaust is burning blue. Any ideas?

he ran compressed air into the cylinder at rotated the crank through the 4 strokes to hear where it was escaping. He said it sounded like it was leaking back into the intake so he surmised it must in the head. I was surprised it was not as simple as an injector, the pickup only has 61,000 miles.

Odd test, I would understand a standard compression test, but applying compressed air and listening kinda baffles me. I would do a compression test to rule out burnt valves, and if that checks out then I would look at the injector.
