9-5 2.3t 70k PCV Failure, White Smoke :(

OK, I have a 2000 9-5 2.3t and have noticed some smoke at startup on and off and slight oil consumption over the past 2x oil changes. This does not include the leak of almost all oil caused by a broken water pump impeller and pulley that chewed my timing cover that I had a few months ago.
Yesterday I went for a 60 mile drive and at one point my oil light came on right when I parked on a steep incline. I immediately put in oil and drove home, no overheating and no more oil light.
When I stopped in my driveway I noticed the smell of oil burning in the car and popped the hood. I noticed that my PCV hose to the dipstick was cracked and oil was all over the place. I cleaned it up and searched Saabnet for PCV replacement kits. Today I went out to start my car to see what was up and that is when a HUGE amount of white smoke came out my tailpipe and did not stop or go away. This was not the puff you see on startup for the turbo seals but white and does not smell like oil or coolant really. The engine idles and runs fine, not rough, no knocking or ticking even with the hood open while running. I do not dare to drive it to see how it performs under load.
I again came to the boards and I see things about the PCV system retrofit kits, head gaskets talks and turbo failures. I am not sure which avenue to pursue first on this car. I love it to pieces and it only has 70k miles!
Any advice on where to start>
