The engine starts smoothly, maybe a little rough for 3 seconds or so.
Engine runs smoothly start to finish

Blower continues to run

When I turn off the engine, what I think is a blower motor continues to run for about 20 seconds. It may be the Turbo. It even does it after an idle. It just started doing this two days ago. Any ideas?

It's the radiator fan

The radiator fan doesn't appear to be turning, and the sound is closer to the engine block, above the motor, half way back, closer to the fuel filter.

I think they could be related. If your glowplugs are not working correcly, then you could be starting up with one or more cylinders cold which would result in unburned fuel causing the white smoke. At least that's what I would expect, especially when it goes away once it warms up.

It is probably the EGR flow control valve.
It comes on when the engine is shut off and then times out.
It does sound like a fan whine..

Hmmmm... Thanks for the feed back. What does the EGR flow control valve regulate? And where is it located, in relation to the fuel filter and engine block?

If the exhaust has a sweet odor to it, there is a reasonably good chance that you may have a bad head gasket. Have you checked the antifreeze level in the overflow tank?

It closes off the turbo feed to let the exhaust gas flow into the intake manifold.
It is directly forward and 5" below the filter. The intercooler hose feeds directly into it.
