Mystery Smoke Source?

6.4 2010 model no smoke upon start up and initial drive cycle. After 5 -10 minutes ,Then: blanket of white oil burner smoke.
PDF cycle does not clear smoke. Hard drive, 20 mnutes @3500 rpm clears smoke until next drive cycle. I programmed out the PDF regen cycle, same thing. I pinched turbo supply supply hose off, same problem.

This vehicle has 90 k , starts and runs perfect.
No miss no stumble or surge.

Huge blanket of oil smoke, you cannot see behind the truck.Where else can so much oil be coming from.
If you can drive hard for an extended period, the smoke stops, however; driving puts everone behind you in danger and yourself from thier anger.

Sorry to hear you're having an issue.

How do your fluid levels look? Coolant? Oil? You mentioned you programmed the regen cycle out. I assume the DPF is still on. You wouldn't want to leave it like that long term as it would end up completely clogging and creating some other issues.
