It seems to be a toss up between injectors and pump.
If the smoke billowing was bluish it would be oil passing by the rings.
But you said white. That is what I had and it turned out the injector pump was failing on two of the four injector lines allowing too much fuel to pass by creating the dirty white smoke. I don't know if mine was run dry and was just enough oxidation in there to catch in an open position, but I saw an article (snd cant find it again) where the owner was able to lubricate the springs through the access panel and lucked out not having a rebuild. You still could have a stuck injector but you wont know unless they are tested or replaced.
