Either you have choosen the next new pope or a head gasket has failed or maybe even a water leak into the turbo ? Expense whatever happens ! Hope ypu are not an OD.
Head Gasket, to be certain, take the top off the header tank with the engine WARM (not hot) if it releases a lot of pressure head gasket is gone.
Could also look for a mayonnaise type deposit in the cap of the oil reservoir.
Failing all that spend the money on a “sniff” test
Works lorry thankfully but annoying its only done 2500kms pretty sure head gasket water droplets coming out exhaust and a taste test says antifreeze
DAF? Past it’s ‘use by’ date already!!
Water vapour is a byproduct of SCR, so it may be that nothing is wrong.
When does the white smoke occur?
If it’s at start up it could come from diesel, a dripping injector for a example.
It could be a cracked head, head gasket failure or leaking injector cup.
If it’s a Gardner, then that’s normal. Nothing to worry about.
Our Volvo’s kick quite a bit of white smoke out in a morning for the 1st mile or so, nowt wrong with them
For my sins it’s a man been told by the nice fellas at man Swindon it’s probably the egr valve but won’t know for sure till they get it in the shed, so it’s a unexpected night out and no change of clothes
Rule number one # always carry enough gear for at least one night out.

Well done lad, see how long that lasts when you’re in a different truck each day and not used your night out gear for 2 years
How come the only photo I can see is of the truck in the workshop? What’s everyone else talking about?

Err, no. Modern cooling systems are pressurised to raise the boiling point of the coolant.
Cars with cats do it as part of normal running.

Correct but you can judge by how much pressure is released if they’re something amiss especially considering the other symptoms
update.
It was the EGR valve just about finished putting it back together only taken 24 hours
Don’t you just LOVE technology? Didn’t have that problem on a 150 Gardner!
