Default Oil cooler advice

Hi all

I have just had a used engine fitted (4.2TDI CDSB) but literally a couple of days later I have oil in the expansion tank, I also have whitish smoke coming from the oil filler cap.

Any pointers on what might be going on?

I am hoping it's possibly oil cooler related??

Thanks for any info.

I would check it first yes, that's the easiest fix by far.
