Injectors might have seen better days. .. You could probably get a mechanic to run some liqui moly diesel purge through the system to see If that helps... Otherwise I got nothing.
The last time I saw whitish smoke when I started a diesel and black smoke while driving. .. the piston rings were on their last
Hope the van was serviced regularly
