Blue smoke, low oil pressure, turbo number 3!!! What am I doing wrong?????
To start off, this is my wifes truck, 24v cummins with edge EZ tuner. Nothing too special other than its hers. We went mudding a couple of months ago, long story short we got it stuck and water/mud got into the turbo and oil system. We replaced the turbo changed the oil/filter thinking we were good, the turbo lasted a month and started blowing blue smoke. It got really bad so I pulled it and found that it had blown the seals and thrown oil back into the exaust manifold and had been pooling in the #6 cyl. Cleaned it flushed it made sure the oil system was clean and put a new turbo on started truck, realised that oil pressure guage was not working. Replaced sending unit, now to my problem, blows blue smoke on start up until engine is completely warmed up. Once it is warm the oil presure drops to zero at idle. I put 2 mechanical guages in one at the filter and one at the sending unit. Filter reads 15 and sending unit hole reads 8-10. Idle and when we release the throtle is the only time the stock guage reads zero. When it does that the mechanical guage on the filter side is still reading 15- 20. I need some help getting ready to drive this truck across the country and I am wondering if I am gonna blow another turbo. Were could this blue smoke be coming from??? any suggestions would be helpfull!

Would someone please give me an idea my brain is fried. Does this truck have a filter bypass in the oil sysem?
