Message	All pistons will have a little blow by. If boost leak thru the dipstick is a lot, I suggest you do a leak down test to see if the engine is healthy. You can cap off the dispstick but if the bow by (which increase crankcase pressure) is high, the extra pressure will just find another way to vent out (i.e crank seal/ rear main seal)
