I got 2016 F150 with the 3.5L turbo engine about 3 weeks ago. Was driving on the highway and just started smelling burnt oil and saw smoke. Immediately I pulled over and shut off the truck. After looking around for about 20min I found the there was a quarter size hole in the engine. The engine cracked at the turbocharger oil return tube (see photos). I checked the other side of the engine and found that that side is beginning to crack as well. I called Ford and was told there was no recall and the truck is not covered under warranty since it has a rebuilt flood title. I am reaching out to see if anyone have had that issue or may have a solution. Thank you in advance
