PVC and smoke question.
On my new engine I got a breather on my passenger side valvecover. And the stock PVC vavle ( going to the intake ) on the driverside vavlecover.
When I take off the PVC vavle I see a slight amount of smoke coming out of the hole. Not much but its there, is that normal?
I can add, its thin white smoke..

yes. especially on a newly built motor.
you have to understand, the PCV is pressurized! It takes air from the TB and pumps it through the block, sucking bad stuff into the intake. It's a good system... and does it's job...
