I was gonna say something about the oil laying around thing. Depending on where the oil was dripping before, you may just have a little more to still burn off. If you're up for it, prehaps spray some Simple Green under there and hose it down.

If it did drip it was onto the ground, there were no oil marks on the frame or other parts of the truck.

Did you ever straighten out the line where it went over the frame?

Not yet, that may trap oil like you brought up but I don't think it would trap vapors.

Maybe, but if the oil puddles up enough, it's going to close the line up completely, and now the vapors that used to come out of the line have to come out somewhere else

See what I mean?

I'm not at all saying that this is your problem, but it's worth looking into. It looks fairly easy to do, and won't cost you a thing.

While you're under there, you can trim those hangnails

The reason I mention the possibility of puddling is because my vent DOES leave oil spots below it on my driveway, which leads me to believe that a little bit of oil must be working it's way through there somehow.

You can kinda see it here

Ya know, since you're not getting the results that you're looking for from the smoke switch. You could route that PVC into your exhaust pipe, then...
