Bad thing is you do not have the piece that goes into the valley pan grommet.
You are going to have to figure out what you can use to replace the missing parts, has to fit rather tight in the valley pan grommet so water can not get in and oil vapors can not escape or you are going to have to buy an new CDR.

I service my CDR every other oil change.
A normal NA motor should not need anything else other than a clean CDR.
Turbo engines that are running boost at outrageous levels do need something a little different.
I do have issues with mine every once in a while when I get into the 20 + pound range.
I have come up with three fixes, but I am not sure which way I am going to go yet.

Ohh Ok, good to know. On that same note, my Oil leek is compleatly gone, I noticed after work today there was nothin but dry asphault unter the nose of my Truck this afternoon. Havent noticed anything different about the smokeing, but i havent hardly drivein it these past few days, except for the few miles to and from work, so I'll keep an eye out on that.

After I cleaned my CDR (the thing was gummed up pretty bad), it took a little bit of driving before I stopped seeing smoke when I was reving or pushing it hard. My CDR hadn't been serviced since the truck was new judging by how hard it was to get out and the amount of gunk inside. Give it some time and you should see a difference, if not start looking for more tools
