One for the derv boffs

I've got a mondeo ST TDCI and recently its started to smoke (white/light grey) on start up from cold. It clears straight away and doesn't smoke any other time and the car runs fine with no fault codes. Any ideas anyone?

Probly I burnt fuel if you turned it over a few times before it fires it will have excess fuel in bores on it will pump a bit of white smoke out while it burns it off
