here is the the thing sometimes it smokes at initial start up and sometimes it doesn't. and sometimes when it doesn't smoke at initial start up I will drive somewhere and then when i stop it will be smoking a little bit. I don't really know if it smokes under wot it is kinda hard to sit and watch my mirrors for smoke when I am driving at wot. the pcv valve is still basically brand new maybe 1000 miles on it but I will check it. I am still learning about cars what exactly is blow by? I am assuming you would take the oil cap off while the car is running? thanks
