Smoking bad from oil cap when removed?

I HAVE A B16 WITH GREEDY TURBO KIT. IT SMOKES FROM THE VALE COVER OR THE LINE CONNECTING TO THE AIR BOX. THERE IS NO LOSS OF POWER. BUT IT SMOKES ALOT. THERE IS ALSO OIL COMING OUT OF THE BOV AND BLOCK HAS SOME OIL AS WELL. I THINK IT COULD BE THE HEADGASKET.

THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON IS LOCATED ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF YOUR KEYBOARD. THAT ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADRESSED BEFORE YOUR OIL PROBLEM!

kthx!

Possitive Crankcase Ventilation Valve

pretty much what it does is allow blow-by gas to be recirculated back into your car by way of this valve...

Blow by goes through the seals in the piston... down your crankcase... up through the head... and out of the valve cover....

When this thing is fucked or not working properly... oil starts to spit out... and I do mean spit....

PCV valves are like 2-3 bucks... replace every 12,000 miles
