Ergo the engine is fine.
It therefore follows that the problem is either in the ancillary systems or in the fuel.
Are there any changes in the exhaust system that could account for this? do you have exhaust gas heat exchangers that are not functioning as effectively as they should?
Is the intake air system OK or is there excessive moisture in the air?
Have you tested the fuel?
How much water in your fuel?
Has it been standing for some time?
Has it been contaminated?
Have you tried a new batch of fuel?

White smoke in outlet is unburned fuel.A sencitive component on this engine is the turbine clutch.
At low load, the turbine is coupled to the crank shaft using a clutch, which at high load (enough exhaust gas pressure to drive the turbine)will unclutch.
If this clutch fails to engage, you will have a very rich combustion (not enough air)on low load operation.
