"Steam" out the tail pipe sounds normal for most cars on a cold 
morning, normal for cars in MN all day when it's really cold. It's 
been a long time since I had a diesel, but when a regular gas engine 
had a coolant burning problem it looked like the smoke screen the 
destroyers put out in the WWII movies. A massive cloud of white 
smoke, that time it was the head gasket.
Sorry I can't help more...
