Default PCV hose

2002 WS6 transam M6 headers magnaflow roller rockers
I pulled my PCV hose today and turned the vehicle on let it idle and then reved it to 2,500. A lote of smoke/steam was coming out of the hose and it stoped coming out of the exhaust for a while and then it started coming back out of the exhaust instead, so i'm clueless. It didnt smell like oil burning like my exhaust does, the smoke was blue from the pipes and I ran through 2 quarts in 4 days (INSANE) so help needed please. I was wandering what should be coming out of the pcv hose, and could a valve seal leak this bad. It smokes at start up, idle and rev.
