Aside from checking the aforementioned o-rings, may also be worth checking, cleaning and then disabling the EGR. The amount of soot and oily gunk that collects in both the EGR and inlet manifold, will not help the smoke situation. (wear very old clothes to clean it)

Disable by removing and blocking the vacuum pipe that activates it.
