2018 Blowing Blue Smoke

[FordTechOne]

Hmmm... my 2019 has now on two occasions killed every mosquito for a 5 block area. Both times had driven for over an hour at highway speed then stopped and shut it off for 10 minutes or so then started up and drove off. On light/medium acceleration there is a large cloud of blue smoke for a half mile or so then it stops. Even had a guy catch up to me and tell me it was smoking. Have not noticed any other time... Thoughts?
FordTechOne?

What is the trucks build date?

June, 2019 (at least that is the date on the door sticker)

I thought I saw another thread on this and the person said it was a turbo seal. I think he had a video too.

Is the truck stock? Meaning no aftermarket intake, catch can, etc? If it’s stock, it’s possible it’s a turbo seal or bearing issue.

Mechanically completely stock. 46K miles.

Old thread update... my truck continued to occasionally produce blue smoke as described previously. Did notice it was predominately coming out of the driver's side tailpipe. I had the dealer check it several times to no avail and they couldn't replicate the problem. Finally now with 77k miles it did it when they started it up in the service department getting ready to do an oil change. I left it with them and they took down the exhaust, scoped the turbos and diagnosed it as a leaking turbo oil seal on the driver's side. Since it was out of factory warranty of course it was denied... Thank goodness for once in my life I had purchased the 'Works' Ford 5 year/100k extended warranty. It was covered and the turbo was replaced. Been driving it for about a month now and so far no more blue smoke (crosses fingers).

Sad the original poster never followed up with any update and never returned to the forum after his one and only post. Must have gotten help for his issue on the Prius form!
