Default PLEASE HELP!!

I have a 1997 powerstroke 7.3l w/ stage 2 injectors, 150hp chip, bigger turbo and straight pipe. I have an issue to where I first start it during the day, a huge white cloud of smoke just pours out of my exhaust (granite I understand its normal for a diesel). no matter how long I let it sit, it just dumps out until I give it gas and then it goes away. but if I stop after that quick drive, faint blue smoke is getting pushed out of my exhaust?? but if I shut it off for 5 min or 30 min, the white smoke pours out again until I give it gas, can anyone help me

If its o rings and your getting raw fuel into your cylinder all your doing is destroying your engine. Orings are cheap

Well the white smoke is indication of something with fuel to much. So its the seals or orings or maybe an injector. Have you checked your oil to see if its gained any? Or if there's any fuel in it? If there is then you have a bad injector or seal. If it has coolant in it then you've lost a head gasket

I haven't checked any fluids yet because I just bought it a couple days ago. But is there a good way to check if I do have a bad injector at home or no? Because I'm on a low budget and things are not going right you know so if any help would be much appreciated. But I am not loosing any coolant but I'm Gona pressure check the system to see if it is the head gasket you know

Just check the oil smell it if it just smells like oil your good. You can take it to a shop and have the injectors balance tested.
