That is what I have been saying all along. It blows smoke while just sitting parked running the A/C or not and with auto start or not.
I could see if I lived in Sanfran with all the hills but this is Virginia away from the Mountains.

My driveway is sloped worse than that
If I am hard on my D(aka having fun) It will do it briefly after sitting a few minutes.
But if driven normally it doesnt happen. Which is why I know its intake design
When you get on these 5.7's the oil blows up that vent circuit back into intake and pools
Since yours happens no matter what it is unacceptable

Just to make all of you aware: 80 Years ago engines would have let the oil steam out in the air and the condensed oil was all over the streets because they just routed it with a pipe there. I have cars from 1953 at home which have this too! The crankcase has to be ventilated otherwise it will add a bunch of other problems to the engine.
What to do with it? Yes, the easiest thing was to catch it in a can. That's what the previous owner of our 53 car did. But this just catches the oil but not the oil steam which is harmfull for the environment. Thats why they routed it back to the intake so that the excess oil can be burnt and the steam as well. Depending on the amount of oil in the ventilation it could harm your power on the engine thats why so many ninja-kids with their ricers here shut off this inlet cycle by just letting it in the air (and they still believe that they gained 10HP just because of that! :-) ).
The more power an engine has the more possiblity is for a good amount of oil steam and condensing! I have TransAM GTA (350CUI) which has the same thing, it just not that strong because of the easy 250PS on the engine but its there. I also have a 3.0l V6 Alfa Romeo 75 which is for racing on the tracks. It does the same. Sometimes even stronger than the durango!
They just don't added the catch can because it's rather expensive and an additional maintenance piece! You have to remember all the time to also empty it regularly.
So what do you think is the easiest and cheapest thing. Yes, just let it suck it in and burn it. Sometimes you see the burnt oil because more is dripping behind the valves. The basement of the inlet is not a perfect clear underground. It has dents/chambers/sections I don't know how to call it on english and it needs a inclined driveway to let it dripp massively to the valves. Normally it just sucks drop for drop in but of course you can't see that because of the small amount.
It's not a fault it's how engines operate. You can thank the environmental guys for your "issue" but I think that's the only thing I accept.... I hate cats and mufflers :-)
