i called up the diesel services guy again and mentioned that it could be the head / head gasket and he said if that was the case the engine would have run out of water or oil but that's not happening and he said the smoke would have been bluish white and continuous. but he said while servicing the pump n injectors he will do the compression test and give me the data readings. so i have decided to give it a go tomorrow and do the pump / injector service as at 276k kms that would be due anyway.

just updating that after i had the Pump and injectors serviced, the smokes disappeared and gained power as well. both the white and black smoke has gone. Thank GOD it was not anything major. While that was being done, i also managed to change the clutch. sometimes the clutch goes loose and normal again after i release and engage again....is it normal??
