As my grandfather once said “Well. it’s 18 years-old, so it’s allowed to smoke now.”

Diesels smoke. especially an 18 year old one.

What color is the smoke? When does the smoke happen? is the smoke a new thing?

Yep, black smoke-fuel issue, white smoke-coolant or possible fuel issue, blue smoke-oil burning/worn engine. I suspect you’ve got an injector pump or injector issue so its off to a good diesel shop for an analysis.

I was going to suggest taking it to ‘Positive Changes’. They advertise curing addictions with hypnosis.
