The piece I showed earlier is under your cab between the turbo and particulate filter. You can remove it and look for cracks.

Stop and go, long idle or high idle time is the death of a DPF. It is probably time to have it cleaned or replaced. If the system is working properly, an occasional trace of smoke would be somewhat normal, noticeable smoke for a long time during the regen says the system needs service. Smoke can be from the system not reaching or maintaining the needed temp for a passive regen. Since you’re not seeing any fluid loss, it is not likely due to those being burned. Has it needed a parked regen lately? If not, maybe the service shop can do a computer forced regen. Forced regens can take quite a long time. Have seen some go almost 3 hours. While not an emergency, it does need to be dealt with. The possibility of taking out a sensor is high in this situation.
