Default PCV?

I'm still noodling this smoking issue my car has. (I think I may start calling it SB1 for Silver Beauty 1 )

So, I see smoke after start up and sometimes at STOP
signs and in the braking zone for Turn 1 at SP, etc.

I'm sure valve train clearance is a factor, but it is inconsistent.
Somedays, there is smoke at all. Somedays there is a LOT of smoke.
Mostly after consistently higher and steady revs, like after coming
down the straight at SP at 5800 in 4th, but maybe not so
much when running 4500 in 5th.

If it were seals/guides I'd expect smoke all the time, just more
with more revs and less with less reve, and less as things
heat up and get tighter.

Lucky and I were talking through it, and I think we both are thinking
maybe the engine is sucking in oil vapor from the intake / PCV circuit.

Questions:
- does anyone know the part # for the small reducing diameter rubber
fitting right next to the oil filler on a 3.2? Mine is all cracked and I'm
sure it leaks air if there is negative pressure inside. It is sort
of funnel shaped.

- Is there a PCV valve? Where is it? Or is there a similar circuit
carrying oil vapors and oil mist up to the intake tract?

- Is there a common 3.2 feature I should check to see if it could
be delivering oil to the combustion chambers aside from guide/seal
and ring leakage?

Thanks!
