Heads off the car, checked the head gasket and it looks fine

what else would cause would cause blue and white smoke to come out the exhaust and water vapor to come out the breather on the rocker?

Compression testers fit in the spark plug location iirc.

Have you checked piston rings?

I'm not sure tbh, do they mount the same as spark plugs? I'm not too clued up on diesels.
