Default constant smoking under the hood...

well i was driving my car with lsvtec swap which has less then 200 miles on it and is still in the break in process on the highway the other day and i noticed that my car started smoking out of the exhaust and under the hood...and so i stoppd by a gas station and checked wat was smoking and i noticed that the valve that is on the valve cover was constantly smoking...smoke would just constantly come out of it...and my car would die at idle unless i give it gas to....anyone

the block is pretty much stock with os ctr pistons, gsr head and hasnt been fully tuned. the motor has less then 100 miles and is still in the break in process but as i was driving it around i noticed it started smoking crazy out of the exhaust and the valve behind the oil cap...and now it doesnt keep its idle...itll just die...

Uhhh thats not good, is the air pushing out of that? Cause if so thats really not good, When i fried my ringlands it did the same thing on my turbo Ls, it was smoking there, do a compression test to make sure its close in all cylinders. Thats where i would start
