1994.5 Powerstroke Issues
Ok so I have a 1994.5 7.3 Powerstroke and I am stumped by the issues it is having. I recently pulled the engine to replace the head gasket (head gasket was blown and had coolant in the oil) and put it all back in and have driven it about 20 miles or so. It is smoking blue/white smoke like no body's business. It especially smokes bad when it the engine is accelerating. I swapped the injectors and re-oringed them from a low miles 1996 7.3 to see if that would change anything.. didn't do anything. It is also slow to start, and just today i noticed it is dripping oil out of the ebpv where the downpipe attaches with the clamp.
I rebuilt the turbo when I pulled the engine and it seems to idle and drive fine and isn't missing as far as I can tell. So other than the ridiculous smoke and oil dripping, it is a good running truck. No CEL or anything.
I was hoping someone here could give me some useful advice on what could be causing this or what i need to test to narrow down my isssues. Thanks!!

Drive it more, longer, harder.
20 miles is not long enough to clear the air out of the hpop system when doing injectors let alone pulling heads.
The smoking could be from the oil that drained onto the pistons when you pulled injectors.
