Blue smoke usually means its burning oil.. How did you use the seafoam? Its usually 1/3 in the oil, 1/3 in Gas, and 1/3 through the intake (IIRC).. Is this what you did? If so did you change the oil afterwards?

Yes, that is the PCV, although I'm failing to see how that would cause a vehicle to smoke.

Pulling oil into the intake via the PCV?

It didn't make a whole bunch of sense to me either but my buddy assured me he fixed an other smoking cherokee that way and sure enough it stopped smoking.. something about crankcase pressure and oil getting in the intake.. alls I know is it stopped smoking, $10-$20 part.
