Check your intercooler and hoses. More than likely this is your problem. Hoses are easy to check/change, however if you do change them you should use new clamps. The intercooler (that radiator looking thing with two hoses coming off it, one on each side) will have to be taken to a shop to be checked.

What could be the reason for that? The Mechanic said the whole exhaust pipe from the back of the engine to the back of the truck needs to be changed, but he didn’t open anything to check anything.
Could that be the oil leaking from the exhaust has kit?Heavyd Thanks this. -

Smoke, depending on color can mean several different things.
- WHITE SMOKE
Cold engine starting in extremely cold weather.
Injector failing intermittently, or a complete failure
- BLUE SMOKE...
Oil leaking into combustion chamber
Excessive soot / crap build up in head.
Older engines idling for heat/ac for 10+ hours often blow blue smoke for a mile or so before it cleares up. (always, especially caterpillars keep it in a reduced gear for a couple miles)
Turbo failing or failure
- BLACK SMOKE...
unburt fuel going thru exhaust
Extremely high output engine
worn engine and or components
Turbo failure warning / immenent.
Obviously this does not cover every possible scenario, but it should give you an idea of what may be causing it.
Exactly what color/colors of smoke is it, when does it happen, what type of weather is it in, how long does it continue for, what engine temp does it do it or stop doing it at? -
Also, any mechanic that says you need an exhaust pipe from the engine back, or from anywhere because of an engine smoking, needs to squeeze his ### so his head pops out.

Just getting back from holidays. It sounds more like an air to air hose split or burst on you. Check all that. Your top picture is of the crankcase oil separator. It is just slobbering from somewhere there and making a bit of mess. This really won't cause loss of boost or power.
