The hose that is hanging down is supposed to go to the air cleaner. The pvc hose draws engine vacume threw the engine. It does tend to drop at higher rpms so that may be why your engine smokes some. In general the 6cyl valve cover gasket tends to dry up and leak. It would be worth taking the time to fix that.
Try and smell the smoke, if its white that would normaly be coolant burning, blue is oil burning and black is unburned fuel. Its easy to mistake blue for white. If its blue it should have that oily smell, coolant will have the sweet smell.
