Would be head gasket on a Gas engine, not only thing it could be on a Diesel ! May just be water in your fuel, have you changed your filter lately? Air in your lines will make light gray. Don't panic, it's prob. not anything bad. Change your fuel filter, bleed your lines, and go from there.

Slipped timing or bad overflow valve

12 valves with the p pump are notorius for sliping timing. the gear is just pressed on the shaft of the pump with a nut. check compression of all cylinders. coolant system pressure test.
