Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) How much blowby?

[jerrethomas]

I'm not sure when it started but i thinking it started when i put my sps62 on. I took my blowby bottle off and extended the hose to the ground about 6 months ago. I never noticed any oil or blowby gases coming from it when it was running. Now when i park my truck about everywhere i go and it sits for say an hour or so, i come out and there is a drop of oil a little smaller then a dime right below where the tube is. Is this normal? I have made a manometer yet and seen how much blowby there is but i didnt notice oil on the ground till the new turbo. Another thing is when i put the turbo on my boost gauge only goes to 35 psi and it was pegging it. So i hooked up another boost gauge and i was getting about 55 psi. I gated it back to about 42 then. Could this high boost have anything to do with it? Usually the blowby is from worn or broken rings, my truck only has about 59,000 miles on it. I even drained some oil from the engine and still get the drop of oil. I'm out of ideas!!!

If it didn't have blow by you wouldn't need to take the puke bottle off. :-{}
