Hey. Did you ever get to the bottom of this?

Ask me again in a few days. There were a lot of red herrings which made no difference. However I hope we've got it cracked but won't know for another few days as I'm awaiting parts.
You're obviously asking for a reason. What are you trying to resolve? Rehab is for quitters!!!

I know you've mentioned the fuel rail pressure drop, which leads you to think it's got a dripping injector, which would cause nearly all of your symptoms (except I'd expect the smoke to clear shortly after start-up as the excess fuel in the cylinder is burnt off).

But, have you checked your brake fluid level?

That amount of white smoke would make me think it's sucking brake fluid through the servo into the intake manifold.

Just a thought?

Strobe84 - That'll be your secondary turbo. Oil builds up in it as they idle or are driven gently and when you put your foot down and spool up the 2nd turbo it clears the oil as smoke.

Look up 4.4 TDV8 Oil Drain Modification and you'll find it well documented.

Driving it spiritedly a couple of times a week once it's up to temperature will stop this.

I'm pretty certain I didn't spool the second turbo and it was still doing it. Also... Why white? Oil burn should be blue, no?

No, oil burn is typically white. Used to be an easy way to tell if the timing on the older diesel engines was on its way out ... it would puff white.

Dark haze going towards dark smoke is over-fuelling. V8 or else ...

Generally when engines burn oil, the smoke colour produced is regarded as grey or blue/grey. Not white.

White smoke is normally from coolant entering the combustion chambers or contaminated fuel (i.e. water or other substance in it). Brake fluid getting into the inlet system via a faulty servo also produces copious amounts of white smoke, but the OP has confirmed brake fluid levels are ok.
