Cdti smoking occasionally

Hi horrible smoke out of exhaust
It would appear to only happen if I’ve been stationary in traffic for a while
I’ve floored it driven uphill nothing , no loss of power just so bad when it happens

To give us a guide. Is the smoke blue or black ?

Blue, engine oil.

Black, diesel.

Think it’s got to be diesel as the oil level would appear to be the same
