As Deserion mentioned, pull oil cap while idling. If it is difficult due to suction, that is an indication of a problem. If it pulls off with small suction and engine idle gets a bit rough, but with it on it smooths out, that appears to be normal.
Life span is all over on these things. I replaced as a maintenance item at 87k miles with no indication it was bad.
Does the smoke clear after the engine warms a bit?
I need to go out and see about the tach needle while my car still starts to know the base line.
I have only had the crank no start for a bad fuel pump relay
Good luck and keep us in the loop
