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.

Nick:
I have had this problem usually after startup and less than a couple of blocks travel with my 05/50k CRD. I pump the fuel filter 12-15 strokes and the car starts and runs for another 3-4 months flawlessly. Can't remember the last time it happened.
Good luck!
Jim

So you are getting air in the fuel injection system?
 
Are you filling a near empty fuel tank with the engine running? Do not as you will suck in air.
 
Are all of the hose clamps at the fuel filter snug? Are the hoses in good shape? What about the fuel lines? If any of those clamps are loose, air will get in.
 
Also, instead of pumping 12 - 15 strokes, pump the fuel 20 strokes it takes to purge the air back into the fuel tank and out of the filter..

Disconnect the wires at the top of the fuel filter, then pump the priming pump. Look for fuel leaking out of the wire connectors.
I am replacing the second filter housing in three years due to this leak. The first time this happened the car would start then stall. Repriming would get it started and it would run until shut off for a while..
