Normally smoke like that is caused by the PCV valve being bad. It's not neccesarily that but it's a cheap part so it doesn't hurt to change it. Normally you can buy it for less than $10, at autozone or pepboys. The only problem is that it's hard to get to it on the KA engine. It's located kinda behind the alternator in this small crevis. Can't really give you much more explanation on the location other than that cause it's really hard to describe (you'll see what i'm talking about when you find it). Try to get the FSM or one of those haynes manuels and they should have it's location in there. I had found a diagram online of it in the past I can't find the link right now, so just goole it and you should find some stuff.
Hope that helps.
