the smoke from the breather is blow by, check ur compression, and do a leak down test, its normal to have blow bym but if its just idleing with a steady sream of smoke theres a problem

Re: smoke coming out of valve cover breather (DrivenMC)
no overheating or change in oil but i did do a compression test all the way around and cyls 1 2 and 4 had 184 PSI compression and cyl 3 had like 60, and when i put some oil in the cylinder it didnt change at all, to my understanding that means that its either the head gasket, valve seals or valves. I took my head off and the number 3 cyl is all black and oily, i think it is the seals.
