Hello. What your explaining sounds like a gasket sucking oil. The PCV system you show sucks to the plenum. That would make smoke out of both sides of the exhaust. You say the driver only so the lower edge of the driver intake is probably loose. I would just put a wrench on the intake bolts and snug them down and see if that helps. Pic of this trailer and towing rig?

I will remove the filter and see what happens. I have checked the bolts all are tight. Let me find a picture of it hooked up to the camper

Could be the exhaust valve guides are shot and leaking there.
