Default new ls/vtec -smoke from breather?

I have searched but no post has really helped me but I just built a ls/vtec motor(with cp pistons, eagle rods and a gsr head if it makes a diff.) I started realized that a little bit of oil and smoke is comming from the breather port on the valve cover. Then I realized that I did not install a pcv system back on the motor. I was wondering if the smoke from the breather could be caused by no pcv system? The only thing venting the motor is the breather port.

How many miles since the Install? And the PVC is a must. Helps pull on the rings when seating.

it has about 280 miles on it now, I have not driven it since I noticed smoke comming from the breather. I ordered the fitting that is used in the Endyne kits from Honda. I have a catch can so I am going to make my own kit. Since my catch can does not have a breather on it , do most people route it from the back of the block to a catch can then to the IM? Or do they go from the back of the block to the catch can then pre turbo?
