the best plugs to use are always champion you never can go wrong with those.

I had the same problem. I changed the pcv valve and checked the hose. It still did the same thing. Then I checked the metal tubing that the hose connects to and found it was full of hardened gunk. I sprayed PB Blaster into the tube let it soak for awhile. Then took an old choke cable, put it on a drill and ran it into the tube like a drain snake. It took a while of doing this over and over but eventually got it cleared out. Now, no more oil all over the engine and hood compartment.
SOURCE: The car's peformance has been poor, especially on picking from a stationary position (no power).
I would suggest to have the pump timing reset and probably have a diesel specialist to check the pump as well. It is very difficult to give extra help over the net as most of the things have been covered by the mechanic I supposed. But as per your description I think the pump may have not been timed properly or it may need overhauling as well.
Cheers

If you are using that much oil you either have a BIG leak or your BURNING oil through bad rings

The valve seals could be going bad. You can try a little thicker oil for the time being.(10w-30). But the valve seals should be replaced. If that is what the problem is. The headgasket could also be seaping a little coolant into the cylinder.
What color is the smoke? If the smoke is white, your camry could have a bad head gasket. Blue smoke, valve stem seals.
