Hi, I recently purchased, with the help of my dad, a 2008 Ford F250 King Ranch 4x4 6.4L for my first vehicle. It has around 220k miles on it and was kept in good condition from what we evaluated when we purchased it as we purchased from a friend who owns a used car dealership. Anyway, we installed a tuner and is up to 700 horsepower at the moment. We also deleted the DPF or whatever it is called, so it rolls coal. If was working fine and all, when we recently installed a very high end stereo system we haven't ridden it in a while, I am not sure if this made a difference on what is happening now or not, just thought I should put that out there. So, we have noticed that it has been leaking a lot of oil under it on the passenger side. Also, when we had to unhook the cold air intake, we noticed there was a lot of oil, a LOT. Also, there is a leak in the exhaust pipe, as shown in the picture attached. We are thinking it is probably something to do with the turbo. We noticed their is an abundance of white smoke, especially when sitting in idle. Any help would be great, as we are trying to get it fixed by when i get my license which is in january. Thank yall.

Check the oil level for overfull. Only don't install the dipstick in all the way. Keep sticking it in higher and higher until the level registers only half way up the indicator.

Your smoke is being caused by whatever that is dripping out the down pipe flange. Kinda looks like coolant but could be oil. Have the egr coolers been deleted? Is your coolant level low?
6.4's aren't first vehicle material, just fyi

Yeah, it does have DPF delete, and no the EGR coolants haven't been taken off yet, but we are thinking about it. I'm quite a newbie could you inform me of why that would matter for this problem? And ok, I will check the oil. Thanks a lot!!

The tuner I mean. Does the tune you loaded have dpf delete on it?
Cuz if you're regening with a straight pipe, that's gonna cuz serious white smoke and fuel in the down pipe?

What's the tuner you used? And did it have a custom tune?

If the egr coolers are there and egr system is operational, if a cooler leaks coolant into the exhaust stream it'll go through the egr valve, into the intake, and out the exhaust.
