Consider the following potential causes;

1. Fuel dilution in oil: Gasoline smell in the oil could indicate fuel is entering the combustion chamber and mixing with the oil.
2. Piston ring or cylinder issue: Blueish-white smoke might suggest worn piston rings or cylinders.
3. Crankcase ventilation issue: Despite the new PCV, there could still be an issue with the crankcase ventilation system.
4. Engine mechanical issue: Knocking sound and smoke could indicate a mechanical problem, such as a faulty lifter or worn engine bearings.

To further diagnose:
1. Oil analysis: Get an oil analysis to determine fuel dilution levels and check for contaminants.
2. Compression test: Perform a compression test to identify potential piston ring or cylinder issues.
3. Leak-down test: Conduct a leak-down test to detect any combustion chamber leaks.

Unfortunately there is no service were I live for the oil analysis.
Went today to another dealerships ,we check the plugs to see if there is any oil but they was clean from oil but I can definitely see that the truck is on a reach mixture.
the mechanics also check the pcv but nothing new in terms of finding the cause.
