Smoke/vapour coming from engine - 2001 S80 T6

Tannhauser

As you can see from the video clip, have a steady plume of smoke or maybe coolant vapour coming out of the engine block. No coolant leak on the ground.

Another member suggested it could be the turbo drain pipe, any ideas on how I would diagnose this problem? I'm beginning to get a bit fed up, seems like as soon as I fix one problem another one occurs.

Also, is there any way I can test the engine fan? Car was idling for a good 10 mins and got up to standard operating temp but it never came on.

Cheers

How many Kms on the engine, has it been well serviced, white smoke could be oil, if it is coming from the turbo pipes, remove the pipes and check in the pipe for oil, could be a seal in the turbo, check to see if there is more smoke from one pipe than the other.

No idea, it was sitting around unused for a good 4 years and the previous owner seems like a dodgy c*nt who probably did it himself and cut corners to cut costs

There's a bit of oil grime in the pipes, nothing over the top. I'll pull it all apart again and dig deeper I guess.
