blue smoke
Hi Gang!
I have the 2000SD 7.3. She started smoking a little before I did about 400+ mi weekend. Now she's smoking pretty bad(greyish/blue-oil i figure). Used her yesterday for work, not to many miles. Oil level was a tad low, all gages good. Just as I pulled in my driveway, The near turbo puked out motor oil? Am I in trouble hear or easy fix? I don't even know a diesel machanic around hear in the bronx NY? Thanks for any opinions

Blue smoke generally means you are burning oil. It could be something very simple or very expensive. Hard to say with the symptoms given.
Try posting your question in the 7.3L PSD engine forum. Those guys can probably guide you to a fix.
