[QUOTE="James W, post: 1120427, member: 13360"] So I pressure tested the inter cooler and boots to 30 psi, no leaks. There was some oil pooling on the lower hose where it goes into the intercooler when i was double checking the boots. How much oil would be "normal"? zero? I decided to recheck the egr, the gasket at the top had evidence of blowing soot and the o- rings were cracked, I replaced the gasket and o rings and no change. There was also a bit of dampness at the bottom of the intake that stuck to my finger when I was poking around in there. I wasn't too bad, but it was oily soot... Also checked the MAP sensor hose, it was in good shape. I also blew out the little nipple but it didn't seem plugged. I took the truck for a drive and nothing had changed in terms of performance, although it has started blowing a bit of blue smoke on start up and acceleration when cold (I'm in Canada so its about -15C here, 5F at the moment). Blue smoke at idle clears about a minute after starting and blue smoke when accelerating goes away when truck is fully warm (190F EOT/ECT) and is black again. I think I'm just going to go ahead and do a EGR delete on this truck as it seems like I'll be doing it eventually anyways and it would put my mind at ease. The blue smoke on start up seems to indicate turbo seals?? Who is a good vendor for the turbo seal kits? Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
