I have a 2002 f250 powerstroke 7.3. She's lost power, kind of chugs, not hearing that turbo whistle anymore..then she got really rough sounded like she wanted to stall out. Puff of blue smoke came out of the exhaust so I turned her around and drove home. Made it home but when I pulled in the driveway she was practically bucking. Very strange smell, and the coolant is very low but not empty. No diesel smell on the dipstick. Did find a hole in the exhaust manifold and it's been welded before. Is just the manifold causing issues or is there something else to be worried about? A friend came over and ran his scanner. Truck took several tries to start again to do that. Can anyone tell me what these readings mean?
