- As long as the CAC and intake manifold are still staying dry of oil, and you are not having higher than normal oil consumption, you should be ok.

== maybe you have an intake restriction (or turbo not spinning fast enough) causing a vacuum at the face of the turbo/engine intake at idle?.

== Maybe your blo-by is causing some crank case pressure buildup?.

I have 820,000 on my Gearhead inframe. Yeah, I was thinking maybe blowby due to hard pulls and descents (jake brake 1700 rpm) combined with altitude.
