White smoke is usually caused by a coolant leak into the motor.
You may have a blown head gasket.

I have a diesel engine that expells white smoke for 5 to 10 miniuts after start up? The exhaust also smells rich with fuel? I bought the truck used and am trying to fix the problems! Please help.

When an engine expels black smoke it means that the piston rings are going and is consuming oil. And when the color of smoke is white the engine is consuming more fuel. Both are harmful. Black to the engine and pocket while white to the pocket. It seems that the injector need careful attention.
Cold engine does expel white smoke initially. When the temperature rises to normal working temperature the smoke stops. This is normal in your case. 5 to 10 minutes to warm up is normal for any diesel engine. But any thing more than that needs attention.

I have white smoke coming from the tailpipe, loss of coolant, and oil in the cooling system. 1992 Ford F 250 Turbo Diesel 7.3 L

One of the head gaskets is blown allowing coolant into the combustion chamber causing the white smoke and low coolant. Also allows oil into the coolant and coolant into the oil.

Get it fixed before you ruin the motor. It is expensive to get fixed, but cheaper than a new engine

Having issues with my 1986 Ford 250 Diesel blowing excessive white smoke.

IF YOUR TRUCK IS BLOWING WHITE SMOKE THAT IS A GOOD SIGN THAT YOU HAVE AN INJECTOR ISSUE, WHAT I WOULD DO IS TAKE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAVE THEM TEST EACH ONE TO FIND THE ONE OR INJECTORS GIVVING YOU AN ISSUE. GOOD LUCK HOPE IT HELPS

How much should my Ford ranger 2.5td be smoking,is it normal for diesel engens to smoke.

Sometimes diesel engines will put out black smoke under extreme acceleration. Other than that, they shouldn't smoke. Black is excess fuel, White smoke is water and bluish is oil. White smoke on a cool morning is not necessarily a sign of a problem unless it happens every time you start it through a warm day. Hope this helps.

2004 Excursion 6.0 diesel blows intermitent white smoke

I don't drive a Ford but I drive an International and white smoke on start up means the engine is too cold to properly burn the fuel. Your black oil or soot is unburnt fuel. You should look at your engine's preheat system for a malfunction.
