Default 03 Duramax White Smoke at Idle

I have a 2003 Chevy 3500 with 135,000 miles on it. Noticed the other day that there is a white haze from the exhaust at an idle. Truck runs fine when driving i just noticed the smoke when its idleing. The smoke seems to go away once your driving it thats what has me stumped on it. I think its a leaking injector but im not positive on it because theres no codes being thrown in the computer. Any information is appreciated thanks guys.

Yeah it smokes all the time wheather it is warm or cold. We have had some mixed wheather lately warm and cold days. The smoke is due to something wrong I mean if you have to stand in it long enough to hook a trailer it actually burns your eyes.
