Sounds like the coolant seal on the turbo might have given out. The turbo has oil and coolant lines goin in and out of it. The coolant is to cool the turbo as little as it does. IS the coolant level going down any?
If so than it might be the turbo. THe only real way to check this is to take the pipes off the turbo and check for coolant.
Also, white smoke can also be water in the exhaust at cooler temperatures. it also smells kinda funky.
