ok. i just drove to wendy's for food. car did not smoke on the way there. was waiting for my food at the window then i noticed that it was smoking out the exhaust. the smoke seemed white but my temp gauge didnt go up and stayed in the norm. once i started driving again it stopped smoking completely. once i got back to my place it still wasnt smoking. checked my oil and it wasnt low or milky looking, so i dont think it was my head gasket. i have had an oil catch can on for a week now but today i just rerouted the vacuum line that comes out of the back left area of the valve cover and into the intake manifold and routed it to the same line that comes out of the T on the right side of the valve cover then to the catch can. but i drove it earlier and it didnt smoke with this setup.but my car had acted up before but that is because my MAF is going out and im putting my stock one back on tomarrow.what the hell could have made it start to smoke all of a sudden then stop??? help me????

here is a ****ty drawing of my oil catch tank routing system. enjoy

why did you reroute your PCV line (the one on the back left in your drawing)?
