1) Exhaust manifolds get HOT. 1700 degrees hot. Over time that can lead to craks, That potentially could be the smoke. Look before removing, as it might crack all the way when you pull the unit. Might not be able to weld if cracked, as metal is fatigued.
2) Try looking for loose manifold bolts. Heating and cooling over time will loosen bolts. Might be a simple fix.
3) You need to re-do lots of turbo and exhaust gaskets, and lots of exhaust manifold bolts.
If you ask me, ( and I guess you are - albeit indirectly), I would look for loose manifold bolts I could tighten down rather than removing everything. Easy, direct, no muss, no fuss, and if it ain't broken you ain't removin' it.
