Just a puff at startup is usually valve seals. If you have oil consumption issues, that's gonna be the plenum, and possibly PCV valve. (along with rings, but, that's expensive, so we won't talk about that. compression test will tell there.)
Check out the Plenum thread in the 2nd gen section.
i just changed my pvc in a 5.9 2001 gas, i was using a quart to about 50 miles, and now it doesnt use oil or smoke. but the trans wont shift fron 2--3 by itself now, lol

Taking the throttle body off and not reinstalling the throttle kickdown cable correctly will cause this. been there done that!

Yep, it's just an elbow. NAPA calls it a "PCV System Elbow", P/N NOE 6301078, and it's less than five bucks. You should be able to find the official Chrysler nomenclature and part number in the appropriate parts manual, which is a handy thing to have on hand.
well, got it all back together, still smokes a little but. check oil after a long ride didn't seem like it was burning any . might just be whats left in the exhaust system etc, burning off. we will see.
