no
Most of the time white smoke is caused by antifreeze burning in the cylinder.
Leaking injector s can cause white to blueish smoke.And that's alot more common then antifreeze getting into your CTD. Also antifreeze will almost always lock you up , due to the higher compression of the CTD. Gas engines have a much lower compression . They will sound horriable but burn it. CTD will crack. Check leaking injector, or turbo oil.
