I bought this oil treatment product that says it will stop the smoke my car makes when it starts up by sealing up something, but it says to put the product in the crankcase. Is the crankcase the same thing as where the engine oil goes?

sounds like that stuff that sticks to all the seals to kind of recondition them as much as possible aka valve stem seals... one of the most common places for oil to leak into the chamber. did i get the right impression here?
