New guy here - Just a quick question

Hello all

I have a quick question - I own a 2008 F250 King Ranch w/Desiel. I am starting to get concerned with the truck. It has 15K miles on it and has sprung an oil leak twice. The first time the dealer told me it was by the intercooler. They fixed it and truck ran fine. About 3k miles later I am driving down the road and the truck becomes real sluggish. The truck dropped about 15 mph when it happened. (more than I experience when it goes into the clean cycle). I get home, park the truck and notice oil dripping again. about the same spot as before. Now when I started the truck and went downtown for a quick errand it was blowing white smoke out the exahust. By the tiem I got back how it was gone.

Any ideas on what is making this happen?

Oil in cooler

If you have that much oil in the intercooler you have a bad turbo.

White smoke is a byproduct of regeneration and will occur from time to time.
