White smoke on startup

Hi guys, now that the temp is dropping below 60 or 70, when my truck is cold and i go to start it, it smokes like a train. When it warms up its fine, but if it sits long enough it will smoke again when i start it? Could this be bad glow plugs or could it be bad injector seals???

I would have someone look at EOT at cold startup & see how it compares to ambient air temp... some extra smoke is normal.....

What color smoke?

White smoke and a rough running engine at first could be a GP or 2 that's bad.
