Default blowing white..blue smoke

New to this forum, hope someone can help. First diesel 05' F350 6.0 Installed EGR Delete kit/injectors/oil press switch. Head gasket checked out good. Oil is leaking out the tailpipe and blowing wt/bl smoke. Any ideas?

Could be a failed turbo seal. Are you SURE it's oil, and not just wet soot? I've seen egr coolers fail and when the coolant makes it's way into the exhaust, it mixes with the soot in there and looks like oil...

It really depends on what you want to do...the seals are fixable but hows the rest of the internals of your turbo....would it just make more sense to buy a new stock turbo or upgrade it all depends on what your looking to do and what you want your bill to look like haha

Turbo seals aren't that hard to change out if you're handy... does take patients to get all that done.
