Odd intermittent issue

[c.gerrard]

Last few times I've been driving the car, there is a disturbing amount of white smoke coming out the exhaust. It happens pretty much every time I start it up and sometimes goes away after a few seconds, some times it doesn't. Now, if there is this smoke and turn off the ignition and start it up again, there isn't any smoke at all. The car itself starts up fine and runs smoothly (well for a diesel), so not sure really too sure what it is.

Jonny reckons it's gasket issues, something to do with water getting into the system when its under pressure, I dunno something along those lines

As I said, the car seems to be running fine when it happens, so it strikes me as a bit odd. Just wondering what thoughts are?
