Couldn't I just replace the oil filler tube? That's where I'm seeing the oil.
If it's just a matter or wiggle/pull and simple swap of the part then I can do that. Part Number for oil filler tube?

Just curious, what are the signs when your a/os is starting to go besides seeing smoke? Can you continue to drive?
sign that a/os is going bad is pretty much what you are seeing. if the filler tube is going bad, most likely is the a/os as well
