[QUOTE="Austin Elkins, post: 1421502, member: 29412"] Man, this has been a headache. Few weeks ago, I sat in my truck for about 30 minutes on idle, started to drive away, and noticed I was throwing smoke into the car driving behind me. When I would go to stop at a stop sign, smoke would move forward up to my windows even... I had never had this issue before. Bought the truck brand new in September 2018. 2018 Gen 2 with 18,500 miles. I have been dealing with this now for a few weeks trying to decide if this is something I should be worried about or not. I have searched forums to find an answer, and it got me thinking that it could potentially be a leaking issue with turbo seals, with others having similar problems after idling. I dropped my truck off at the local Ford dealership, and after a week, they finally got back to me... “weren’t able to duplicate problem”, so I went in and tried to do it myself in front of them. I got some smoke, but they said it didn’t look too excessive and looks like water vapor because there isn’t any actual odor in the smoke. I have spoken with the tech who worked on my truck, and he said he checked the externals of the turbos for leaks and didn't see any. I sent him a video at night with a better view of the smoke and he said it did seem a bit excessive, but if anything, he thinks it could be the valve covers. I asked if I could bring it in again to get it checked, but he said the only thing we can do to test valve covers is to monitor oil loss over 1-2 months to see if its rapidly decreasing, meaning it would be the valve covers. I took this video tonight to get some input on this forum. For measure, I’m in Pensacola, Florida, where its about 45 degrees right now, so I don’t know if that plays a huge roll in vapor or smoke, but the day that I noticed all that smoke after idling, it was closer to 80 degrees. I appreciate your help. Let me know what you think or if this is normal. Thanks. [GALLERY=media, 14589]Exhaust SMoke by Austin Elkins posted Dec 3, 2019 at 6:43 PM[/GALLERY] [/QUOTE]
