So I got my truck running. Turns out that the POS CPS by BWD won't even let it start. Got one from international and had her runnin shortly. I did notice a small bit of smoke coming out from the engine though. On the driver's side valve cover there is another small cover that has a hose running to the intake tube. The smoke is seeping out around that small cover. What is this called? I expect I need a new gasket for it huh? I just need to know what to ask for. I'm almost there thanks to yall. A little more help and I may have it whipped.

Is it leaking from between the valve cover and crank case vent? If so, order this...

Believe your talking about the CCV unit and hose.

Also could this leak cause a low rpm rough idle or a minor power loss at low rpm?

Nope. Just an annoying smell.

Get a good scanner or AE and scan for codes.
