Default A4 white smoke from engine

Hey guys I have a 2008 A4 2.0T. The problem started in the winter when I drove it below freezing. It’s been parked since. It runs but white smoke starts coming out from behind the motor after a few minutes. No engine codes. Any help on what the problem might be would be appreciated!

Hobbs, yes, post a follow-up. Let us know how it went and if you have any tips for us. Thx.

BTW- the thing about the tools for the coolant flange job is no joke. I highly recommend you obtain the tools first. Good luck.
