Ok, smoke test done by Indy came out negative- no vacuum leaks. Further, my diagnosis shows that the car still smokes after unplugging the pcv hoses and sealing intake manifold ports. I idled for around 20 minutes then revved until smoking stopped, idled again and repeated the process multiple times with the same results- heavy blue-white smoke. So this proves that the valve stem seals is the source of the oil and not the CCV system.
