I think your car is trying to tell us it has chosen a new Pope

White smoke without coolant loss is normally turbo failure..
Did you get a chance to pop off the hose and wiggle the shaft of the lower turbo to check its play?
Unfortunately, on the upper turbo is harder to access the shaft.

Smoking white. Funny.

I didn't notice diesel. I'm following good learning new stuff I am curious about the turbo shaft

In a gas engine, white smoke is accompanied with a sweet smell.
Can't comment on the Diesel.
