HELP!!!! white smoke

On my way home tonight, I was stopped at a red light and my truck started to bellow white smoke. But as soon as i took off, it stopped. Pulled over and everthing seems fine. To make along story short, it only does it now when i let off the throttle, and even then its random. Still has plenty of power, oil looks fine, but the degas bottle is empty. Im gonna take it to the dealer in the mornin, but do you think its a HG or maybe the egr cooler? Please help, this is my first 6.0, had it less then two weeks, and im begining to wonder if i made a big mistake. Its an 04 with a little over 89000, so it should be under warrenty. Thanks

Yes it should be under warranty, and the symptoms are make me believe the EGR cooler needs to be replaced...
