Why is there hissing and black smoke from under the front end??

smoke coming out of the vent would indicate HUGE amounts of blowby. Check the band clamp on the downpipe or maybe the downpipe is cracked. Have someone rev it with the hood open and check it out.

It has 255k miles... which isn't a lot for any diesel let alone a Cummins.
So why is it making that hissing noise? Is it normal? I DO have a front cover leak, if that means anything, and as far as I know thats the only place where oil is consumed.
How do I test this? It seems to be coming from the rear of the motor, almost where the trans sits maybe.
I'll go check the dp real quick

Ok so I checked it out a little better, it doesnt dump black smoke or anything, but there is clearly smoke coming out of that rubber tube if you look underneath.
I THOUGHT that was whats creating the hissing, but it might be something else. It sounds loud looking under the truck (its snowy; i'm not climbing under), but it's also kinda noisy underhood on the drivers side too. The IC lines looked good, no rot or poor clamping.. wtf is this?
