This is my first post on this forum. Like others I was going to introduce myself on a separate post. But was lurking around and thought I would just reply to this one instead. Your injectors can leak down and load up the cylinders. However you would get black smoke on startup not white. White smoke would indicate condensation or in this case I am afraid possible leaking headgaskets. Pressure test the cooling system. And if youhave axcess to one get a CO2 detector to detect for exhaust gases in the coolant. You can purchase one of those testers for about $35.

P.S. Does the smoke smell "sweet"
