White smoke

Recently changed my egr valve
Ran fine couple days after once I filled water up but last night decided it was gonna puff some heavy white smoke? Any help? All my levels are fine no mayo
Could it be that the egr gasket wasn't a new one?
Ran for a good 20 mins last night with no change although was about 0 degrees

Does the egr use oil/water? I didn't think it did.

White = water
Bluish = oil

It could be then in that case, you should always replace gaskets as it will save you time and effort in the long run

Even insta gasket is better than using old gaskets

I'll run her again once it's a bit warmer like the weekend then if she still smokes will replace gasket and hope that does the job

If it was 0 degrees it's just the hot exhaust gas hitting the cold air
Start again during the day when it's not freezing, every car will smoke when it's cold
