I'd give you some of mine if I could.

I wouldn't worry about it unless performance has changed.

A properly tuned diesel should not smoke. Ever. If you get smoke, you have either fuel atomization issues, or need more air to burn the extra fuel. That is a general, broad statement, as my engine smokes a little if I hit it HARD below 15-1700rpm, but only til it reaches that point.

It sounds like the injector cleaner did its job.
