C30 D5 motor white heavy smoke

[doyakah]

Hello everyone,

It's my first post on the forum and i would need some help and/or insight.

Car : Volvo 2007 D5 automatic, 180hp

I have a problem of really heavy white smoke on cold morning and cold startup.
The smoke is coming from the front left of the car (see picture included).
It would seem that i am consuming coolant, either through a leak directly on the engine block, or, i hope not, a dead head gasket.

The first time it happened was at idle on a cold day at a drive through, starting with white smoke after some time, it started turning grey/black. I then proceeded to stop the car to check. I saw water coming from the exhaust, i assume it was linked to the cold weather. When i restarted the car, no symptoms whatsoever (White smoke or water from pipe).

No problem for the next days as the weather was less cold.

Just to check the car, I started it again at night, it was around 15°C, no problem, but the next morning, starting it at 3-4°C, it started smoking once again (That is when i took the picture).

Does anyone have an idea of what could be going on ?
