Clear smoke will be water - White smoke
Head gasket ??

Black smoke would indicate that it is overfueling.
Sensor - cold start valve ??

You sure the majority of it isn't just steam? Big exhuasts create a lot of steam in this cold weather.

If the engine is unknown to you do a compression test as a starting point
