With the cap off, engine runnning, there should be a stream (haze) of oil mist coming out after the engine has been running a few minutes. If it's a puff puff consistent to a cylinder coming on compression, that's bad. All the pressure in the cylinder is leaking past a hole in the piston, or rings, and then coming into the crankcase.

Isn't the CCV the vent on top of the driver side valve cover that a small hose runs from the top of the valve cover and conscts to the intake tubing between the turbo and air filter. If that is it then a light misting of smoke comes out of this tube. I have since extended the tube to run down underneath the truck and have sealed the hole on the intake tubing.

My next venture is a biodiesel processer in the works. Have all of the equipment and used cooking oil, just got the chemicals to refine it so within a week I should be running off of recycled cooking oil. Diesles prices are $4.87 here, cant afford to fill her up any more.
