The cause of white puffing smoke in a diesel is the crack pipe ventilator seal. Fix that it keeps the crack inside.
Very worried.. Have the head gasket checked!

White smoke from your 1998 Jeep Cherokee upon startup could indicate coolant entering the engine's combustion chamber, typically due to a blown head gasket, a cracked engine block, or a damaged cylinder head. This can lead to overheating and further engine damage if not addressed promptly. Additionally, it might also be a sign of condensation burning off, especially in colder weather, but persistent smoke suggests a more serious issue. It's advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem.
Blue smoke? Black smoke? White smoke? from the tailpipe? from the engine? from the midpipe? at all times? only when it's first started? when under load or at idle? need a little more information here.....
White smoke from the exhaust is a symptom of coolant entering the combustion chamber. Most likely cause is a blown head gasket, cracked heard, or both. STOP driving this car until you can have it repaired or you will destroy the engine.
No, but there's a permanent fix. The white smoke means you have coolant getting into the exhaust. Which means you've probably got either a leaking head gasket or a leaking intake manifold gasket. Replace them, and that'll solve the problem, as well as increase the longetivity of your engine.
possibley change the valve guide seals
All cars blow white smoke when they are cold especially on a cold morning .Worst case scenario if it blows excessive white smoke all the time is a blown head gasket
Was it smoke or steam? You might pull your oil dipstick out to see if there is water in it. It would be a creamy tecture. May be a blown head gasget.
