Hi guys I am quite a rookie at cars and would appreciate abit of advice before I take the car to a mechanic and get ripped off. I have had the fuel pump changed about two years ago. I also there is a leak in the turbo. Lately there has been white smoke coming out through the exhaust in the morning and also whenever the car has been switched off for a couple of hours. The smoke does dissapear after driving for few hundered metes. Is this a lead up to a major issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks heaps in advance.

It's a diesel right? White smoke on start up suggests unburnt fuel [diesel]. Is the preheat [glow plugs] system working and are you allowing it time when starting to do its thing?
There is a host of potential things which could cause an issue.

Are you sure this is smoke ?
Have you checked ? Does it smell of Diesel ?
Are you sure its not water vapour ?

Same symptoms a while ago, shortly after two injectors failed.
