A/C Connection with White Smoke Problem? 850 1995

I've posted this problem in the forum before but never related to the a/c system.

My 850 Turbo just had the O2 sensors (front and rear) and air meter replaced. Mileage is 120,000. The car is emitting white smoke when the car is idling (in drive only) after about 5 min. of running. It goes away when the a/c is turned off or when the car is put in park. It does not produce the smoke when the heater fan is running or when the fan is running without the a/c on. Last summer I did injet a no-leak additive in the a/c system due to a minor leak and this summer I recharged the system.

Any chance this problem (white smoke) is tied into the a/c system. I haven't ruled out that it could be related to the turbo system, but I want to research all possiblities since my volvo mechanic is a little stumped.

Any suggestions are welcomed!!! I know this is happening to other people from a couple e-mails I've received.
