does the smoke dissipate, or does it stick around? Does it smell sweet?

sweet, disappearing smoke=coolant.

other=oil.

Either way, smoke coming from the vc breathers does not seem all that good. Check your oil....drain it and filter it out with a magnet. Or, pop the valve cover off and see what's going on.
