i gotta tough one this time 01 7.3
 
Started my truck this morning and it had a extremly rough start with white and a lil blue smoke. I know white is water and blue is oil. It sounded like there was something loose in the motor. So i decided to drive it anyways and the smoke went away and the noise withen 2 miles of my house. Still has not came back, also i found a little piece of what lookes to be two pieces of copper pressed together in my exhaust, could it be exhaust donuts, if it were a head gasket i would think i would still be smoking with contaminated coolant/oil. My turbo seems to work and boost normaly sometimes but other times seems like there is no boost what so ever. and EGTs seem a little higher which would make sence if my turbo was not working properly

any help is appreciated mechanical problems useually do not fix them selfs and i am stumed.

White is also raw, unburned fuel....which is what happens when a diesel cranks/no starts while fueling. Don't light a match.

that is what i am thinks as well is there a upgrade for the up pipe

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

would the leak in a uppipe cause low boost high egt ect.

yea, my up pipes were leaking and couldn't get good boost and the egt's were climbing slowly. Fixed them and its all good now.
