Not too worried about it but wanted to get everyone else's take. Not sure the dealer knows exactly what they are doing but they are covering 100% of the cost.

I'll skip the long story.

Truck I just bought had a check engine light come on. (Not sure code).
Under hard acceleration a "puff of smoke" would come out of the tail pipe.

Dealer has changed the plugs.
Fixed the PCV valve as it broke.
Took apart the engine to clean the entire thing out since we know the ecoboost sucks up oil.
Bore scoped everything.
Replaced a turbo because they said there was oil in it.
Waiting to get a call to see if I can pick up today....

I personally wonder if the weep hole in the intercooler would fix this.
When driving I never had loss of power/ shutter, etc.

Just picked it up. I don't trust people farther than I can throw them..... but was advised that the gasket or something had blown in the left turbo charger. I guess it makes sense. Lol

Just curious what the charges would have been had they not covered it. And imagine paying for all that other stuff to be fixed until they finally found the actual reason. Yikes!

If the problem was a leaking compressor seal, the weep hole MIGHT have cured the smoke issue by giving the oil a place to escape (assuming it could seperate in the IC) but obviously would not solve the underlying issue. An oil consumption issue needs to be addressed, especially in a high performance engine like that, because it can cause detonation which can be catastrophic. A weep hole WILL prevent a massive ingestion of condensed water from the IC, which can also be catastrophic.
