Hmm, well like I said I'm seeing a little bit at wot everyonce in while. I does not does this all the time, actually its kind of rare that I do see any. But when I do I've been told that its blue smoke not black. Think this is because of how much oil is going into the intake or possibly something worse? Could to motor still be breaking in and causing this? It has somewhere around 1500 or less miles on it.

At 1500 miles the engine should be as broken in as it's going to get...your puff of smoke could be a bunch of things. Yes, the PCV systems are **** on the GENIII engines as far as oil consumption goes, so if it were me, I'd address that first, (since it needs to be done anyway IMO), then go from there. Get a catch can, and clean out your intake and combustion chambers with some Seafoam, and see if the occasional puff of smoke persists.

Yeah thats what I planned to do, but I figured I might as well get some opinions as well. Thanks you guys.
I'm just really hoping its not rings. Valve seals I can deal with, haha.
