and it turned out to be a totally disintegrated PCV check valve. It's the little valve in the small hose coming out of the fitting in the top of the valve cover.
I had poor idle and smoke coming out of the dipstick tube. Once I replaced the valve, it all disappeared.
Try blowing in the tube coming out of the small valve. If no resistance, it's shot. You should only be able to suck through it.
