Assuming it has an oil filler neck, what happens if you cap it off with your hand. Does the PCV ever create a vacuum on your palm? It should; assuming the engine has no other breathers. If it doesn't, you either have an ineffective PCV, or too much blowby to make it work. If you have noticable puffing out an open breather opening (like a locomotive), you have problems.

No vacuum gauge, Byron, but the mist looks like a locomotive. Thought hard about it last night and it looks like a $4K bottom job so I think I'm returning the car; which could be a hassle and an interesting saga for another thread as I had signed all paperwork including a warranty waiver with the dealer who took it on consignment. Thanks for your insight, although it confirmed what looks like a nightmare.
