I'm talking specifically about the "PCV" system.
As a quick-n-dirty test, remove the oil filler cap and see if the problem changes?
If the smoke disappears, you have too much positive pressure in the "crankcase".

I still have the stock "PCV" plumbed in and fully functional. Did the quick & dirty oil fill cap removal test and there was no major difference.

Normally, a -10 line is fine, but it's the more restrictive fittings and adapters that neck the system down that causes a restriction.
As a rule, I try and fit a minimum -12 set-up for any oil return system.
Else, the stock system that uses flanged / "barbed" fittings is usually superior in terms of cross-section area for the oil drain due to this fact...

I was concerned about the drainage issue when I built this up, and went out of my way to find AN fittings that are designed with minimal restriction relative to the -10 AN hose ID. The fittings I got do neck down a little, by approx. 1/16" relative to the -10AN hose ID, and couldn't do anything about those, but I was able to drill out the AN male drain flange so its ID matched up to the full -10 AN hose ID. Without boring that fitting out, it would have necked down from like a -10 to like a -8.
