How many miles? Is the oil diluted or overfilled?

140, and no oil is at corect level. Any common seals go at 140k and how $$ (any ideas)?

Disconnect the engine breather (PCV) from the air intake & see if the smoking stops.

fixed it, for now. Their was a large crack in a plastic vacume hose that hook up to the main air intake right before TB. and put some Smoke B gone. it seems to be going ok now.
