Default puzzle by smoke at idle

06 powerstroke has a light haze of smoke at idle. Strange this is it comes and goes. Sometimes heavy or lite. Puffs blue at take off but goes away when under way. Anybody? Oh, I forgot some stuff. Full egr delete, 4 inch turbo back exhaust . Sct tuner set on canned street tune. Pulled down pipe and felt oily residue. Can't make out the smell tho.

I would start by checking the intake manifold. if there is oil pooled up inside, it could be a sign that the seals are bad.

Guess I'll pull the egr delete cover off this weekend. Wish something could be easy about these engines! I'm seriously considering getting the auto ingenuity software. Could answer a lot of questions, now and down the road.
