Default Codes p0448 and p0442...clogged vent system make my car smoke?

Well I have not yet been able to pin-piont what I need to change for the CEL codes that are reading off the Autel scan tool and states the air pump system. Now I have been seeing smoke (bluish white) coming out of the exhaust. Note I have 204xxx miles on her and hoping that she will be fine until I get the time and money to get that fixed. Car idles and drives fine and the turbo spools up fine, but I need to know if I should just get this checked out before it causes something major to go wrong. If the vent system is clogging or clogged will it pump more oil to where is burns?

Yes you should have it checked out. Does it smoke all the time or just when cold?

I notice at stop lights it blows out the smoke when the car is at normal running temperature. I dont see any smoke on cold starts though...I will be checking again on a cold start.
