Re: exhaust problem

Try this test also:

On the last trip of the day, before shutting down the engine ... pull the PCV valve and hose out of the valve cover. Hopefully the engine will still run. Let the engine continue to run for several minutes before shutting down for the night.

Next morning, start the engine (if it will start) without replugging the valve. After start-up, reinsert the valve.

Was the smoke lessened? If so, the PCV valve may need replacement .. or.. there is too much oil in the crankcase ... or.. the air filter is plugged up.
