I have a 05 F-12x when i start it up white smoke is coming out of the exhaust and when i give it gas it has no power and the smoke it 10x as bad. Im assuming its an oil leak but can not tell if the turbo is the problem or if a Seal has given out has anyone had this problem??

If the turbo is not turning it will pump oil into the intake and smoke like a mosquito fogger. The boost pressure keeps the oil inside the turbo, there are no seals.

It ended up that the waste gate was stuck closed and ruined the turbo just spent half the day taking it out
