You need to check your injector balance rates and see it your trucks oil level is rising due to fuel leaking into the crankcase to start with.

LB7 are notorious for having injector issues.If you have 400,000 kms on your stock injectors you should be very happy.You need to start by checking injector balance rates and take it from there.
BTW,if you are getting blow-by out the pcv tube you have may other issues as well.

He did not say how much blow by is coming out of the pcv tube. Some coming out is normal on a higher milage truck hell mine does it now and since even new. He needs to worry if it ever blows the dip stick out or the oil fill cap off.

The gray smoke is most likely from your valve seals leaking some from milage. Almost all of us smell fuel in the oil or a trace of it not enough to do anything but the hint to smell. This on your truck is most likely from leaking past the rings some on injection and getting past what did not burn off. I would check the balance rates like others said to be safe.
