Smoke from back of engine not the usual suspects

Recently had the oil cooler and the o rings replaced in the oil return pipe and I’m still getting smoke coming out of the engine, I took the engine cover off and removed the filter box the back of the engine is bone dry, I park on a sloped drive with the Bonet higher than the back of the car it’s driving me nuts, could it be the dpf or something else, I also had the gearbox filter and oils changed not sure if this has an impact I took a video of the smoke coming out but no idea how to upload it 2012 Range Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8

It's protection deteriorates and falls on the exhaust which causes smoke

What about from underneath, any oil drips showing around bellhousing etc. You should be able to put the vehicle into extended height, open one of the doors to stop it dropping down and slide underneath with a torch and have a good look round, you might need to remove the under tray but that’s a straight forward job 2011 TDV8 Vogue SE
