have you got this fixed yet? and on another note white smoke is not oil. it is going to be coolant or cold cumbustion chambers, probabaly cause by a high side leak keeping the injectors from firing completely. burning oil will be bluish and fuel will be balck exhaust not white.

yep, got it fixed artic

turned out that the crankcase was being pressurized due to improper venting and draining of the CCV reroute hose

it was all on a whim that i figured it out...i just rerouted the CCV hose with a trap i added and it started shortly after that..so i disconnected the trap to where i had it before and everything is good now...well sort of...ive been having alot of issues lately, this weekend the diesel is getting disected and going to get some new injector sleeves

I was just getting ready to post this as a probable cause. It only takes a few inches H2O CC pressure to start an oil leak. Also, the oil drain back from the turbo bearing to the CC is gravity feed, and CC pressure inhibits this drain back, and the oil returning from the turbo bearing is forced out the seal into the exhaust and shows up as smoke out the tailpipe.

Since I've got them handy, here are some references on the subject...
