Update. Now it's constant and I'm pretty sure it's oil I'm not very familiar with the 7.3

Is it white smoke that smells strong of fuel?

Got to quit driving it no matter. If its fuel, its more then likely a broken injector nozzle.

If its oil, its more then likely a blown turbo.

Oil pump will not under any circumstances cause smoke.
