turbo question
hey guys hope someone can help me. havent seen this yet.
i have a 95 f350 e40d auto powerstroke 274,000 miles
i removed the intake pipes to get to the fuel pump and lines
and saw oil in the rim of the turbo where the y pipe connects.
i drove the truck after replacing the fuel pump and had blue
smoke coming from exhaust for about 5 miles and then cleared up.
when i start the truck it runs smooth and no smoke. why the oil
in turbo. has anyone seen this before. i have no leaks of any kind.
thanks

Not that I can think of other then a cleaner intake system. Some people don't like it because it not 'green' dumping the fumes out to the air.

Big trucks all dump to atmo.
CCV its kinda a defective setup for us.
If you want to run it into the intake, set it up with a catch can, it would be expensive, cause you need 3/4" fittings.

1) random puffs of smoke from under the truck, people always thought something was broken or I had a wicked exhaust leak
2) THE SMELL! pretty nasty
If you have a catch can/filter/something or put it into the exhaust, I'm sure it's much better

It may depend on how much your motor is worn, mine has almost no smell and no oil drip at all, and I don't have mine run over the booster, just over and down. I never smell it in the cab, only when I get out after I get somewhere after a good haul.

Good point Darin. Wouldn't surprise me if mine was a bit worn out.
Also depends how often you clean out the CCV doghouse. I clean mine about every 10k with a can of brakleen. You'd be amazed how much crud gets clogged in there!
