Hi and Welcome :wavey:
Am no guru but just some cents input.
Serial #1 - Is the smoke thin and go away after a while? If yes, there is nothing to worry about as it is likely an issue of normal condensation buildup inside the exhaust system.
However, if the white smoke is thick... it can be a case of engine burning coolant arising from issues related to engine casket sealant leak/cracked, engine casket or engine block cracked or damaged cylinder head... these are expensive repairs.
Serial #2 & 3 - Maybe worn gear teeth i.e. the locking of gear's teeth is no longer "perfect".
I can be very wrong.

Hi guys, thanks for the welcoming and help. Got it checked by OW, as warranty under them... they told me that the gearbox doesn't have any problem..... they gonna change the valve seals due to the bad smoke, as oil seperator had already been changed a week ago. Hopefully it helps....
