Hi my 06 f350 lets out a cloud of white/bluish smoke after i come to a complete stop or when i build boost with the brake applied. It does it for about 10 seconds and goes away
I checked the downpipe but couldnt find much oil the truck runs perfect any ideas????

How well did you check that down pipe? Cuz those are the symptoms, to a tee, of a leaking turbo

I checked it,but not all that good, just unbolted the downpipe from turbo but a mirror and checked also ran what i could of my finger in there and noticed some soot but not any oil
I could be wrong though, im ordering a rebuild kit with the upgraded bearing and upgraded seals
Hopefully i dont mess anything up

Well I'd first make sure that's the problem. Try and wedge a section of 2x4 between and have a good look with the mirror at the turbine side
