check your pcv. i dont recall when they switched to a valveless system, but if you dont have a pcv valve, you should check the valve cover insides and see if the baffles are all gummed up. otherwise check the valve and vac hose.

Is the fixed office PCv actually clean? You can see through it? Since the oil cap was Not sealing but now it is, and your smoking on starts, my initial thought is too high pressure from a clogged pcv valve. I clean mine with brake cleaner every now and then.

Have you looked at fuel trims at idle to see if it’s truly back to normal?
