I didn't find the link, maybe you forgot to post it.

Anyways, sounds like it is the CCV box. Are you sure the hose coming off of it is not attached to anything? It should go up into the black intake tube. That smoke is actually oil vapors, it is a popular mod to route that hose to the back of the vehicle so that oil doesn't collect in the intercooler and intercooler boots. But when you do that you need to much sure to plug the hole in the intake tube, if not your engine is sucking in dirty air, not good.

Now if you find the hose is connected and still have the leak you may want to check the o-rings where the box bolts down on top of the valve cover as those are common to become deformed.
