B20vtec civic smoking problem. please help

I traded my boosted 240 for this civic. I seriously need some help. Im starting college in a few days and am kinda in a hurry. Here's the problem, after the car gets drove hard, i can smell oil then the car starts smoking pretty heavy. Ill rev on it. Turn it off an start it again an rev a few more times and it stops. ???? Ive done much reading about these b20 setups. The smoke is mostly gray-white. Im narrowing this down to the oil catch can, pcv system, Ask any questions an ill do my best to answer an figure out what to do. Thanks in advance..

Gray/white smoke I thought was head gasket?

Maybe if i explain how its hooked up. Then someone can tell if this is the problem.

Ok if u were looking directly at the oil filter. There are the two ports on each side. On the right side slightly above the port is where the block was tapped for an extra vacuum port (im just guessing an im getting ready to explain why)...so the port on the left runs up an connects to a port on the side of the can. The port on the right runs up but it Splits into two lines. One keeps going to the second port on the side of the can. The other runs to bottom port on the can. There also is a vacuum line goin from the top of the can to the intake manifold. So where the block has been tapped, there is another line running from that to the bottom of the manifold....

Its alot to read but does all this sound right?
