1) Check to see if there is a collection of water droplets on oil dipstick.
2) check radiator an see if there is oil in the water.
3) white smoke is usually an indication of water in fuel. If no crack exists in the cylinder head or walls.
4) fuel filter may have water in excess. if filter has petcock valve try draining.
5) Another cause could be the seal between the turbo oil and hot side could be leaking allowing the oil to inject into tyhe exhaust.
