Is it white smoke on cold start that disappears when it gets warm? Ride like you stole it!!
If I’m not on a bike it’s because only a 4x4 will do… 2011 2.4 Puma 90 HT |

I had those loads of white smoke while testing a 2.4 I wanted to buy.
That white fog of death disappeared as soon as the engine warmed up, what took 2...3 min 
As this indicates the head needs replacement, I didn't buy that one. Sorry for spreading bad news... The most common sign of a blown head gasket is exhaust smoke. White smoke indicates that your car is burning coolant that is leaking into the cylinders. A similar problem is indicated by blue exhaust smoke, though this is a sign of oil leaking from the gasket. The exhaust pipe may also be emitting excess moisture or dripping water. From : https://www.theday.com/article/20180407/biz09/180409547 |

No white smoke, Jus link busting eye watering carbon smoke . Once warm it’s fine.
How does the cold start work? |

think its a defender trait mine is the same on cold start .
its fine in warmer weather just for peace of mind keep a eye on your expansion bottle see if it keeps at the same level . also check the cap for emulsification |

Mine does it. (2008 2.4) No white smoke. I have soot marks on the exhaust - to turbo flange. I've had it machined flat and I have an after market gasket but it still blows a bit.
