    Don't plug it. It needs to breathe. I have a little auto zone filter on mine, but it must spit a bit of oil out cuz my left shock gets a bit oily after a while, like 150 200 miles. I do not know why you are having smoke come out. White smoke equals water. So maybe you have condensation build up or something. Do an oil change for sure, and cross your fingers.

    I also have pods, the crankcase must vent there is a lot of pressure from all the moving parts in there. It is usually vented into the air box to burn hydrocarbons, emissions stuff no worries.
