Starting to see some smoke. Help?

I'm starting to notice a very slight amount of white smoke from the tailpipe of my 2002 7.3L. It isn't alot, and it's very transparent, I can really only see it in the shade. Is this a sign of a possible injector or glow plug problem?

You're freaking out for nothing
A slight haze tends to be kinda normal. Mine will barely do it, some do it a little more.
The first things I would check are for boost leaks or leaking exhaust before the turbo.
GPs are only for starting up and the first minute or two after.

Thanks. I can stop holding my breath now, lol. I really didn't want to go shopping for injectors.
