I just picked up a 1997 7.3 psd. 370000km
Very clean engine bay and motor. Cold air and exhaust already done. Cranks fast and starts right away. No white or black smoke but there's a clear blueish smoke especially when u get on the throttle. I looked at the turbo and it looks like they previous owner used a black gasket maker type deal on the turbo to seal it. Common sense tells that the silicon wouldn't hold up to the psi of the turbo and made it start burning oil. Any ideas? Anything I should look at ? Thanks
