Be fast - check oil and engine coolant levels. Any mixing of either stop running this engine. If sudden without much provocation I would suspect a head gasket issue to chase down. Think this is diesel which if over fueled should show about black smoke out tailpipe. Anything resembling blue/white suggest engine coolant involved,

It doesn't take much to make a scene. White (fog like) out tailpipe suggests coolant/water anywhere it could get in. If a cooler for turbo or something is involved could be that.

Coolant level could be elusive. Need to know it's full in radiator not just a recovery tank and some that is all you get to look at. If cold where you are some fog upon initial start up is normal but subsides.

If you can wet a paper with that smoke if plain water it would dry, antifreeze would not and be a clue,
