I've noticed a little increase lately...
Check air filter condition and timing chain stretch! A dirty air filter
is a common cause in turbo diesels (and if bad enough in normally
aspirated diesels) and timing chain stretch approaching 7-8 degrees WILL
result in smoke. So can poor injector condition, incorrect valve
clearances and poor compression.
