blow by question

How much blow by is to much blow by..WHen I pull off the oil cap and put my hand over it after a few seconds their is a light oily glaze on my hand... nothing to bad i guess because i heard with a supercharged engine it is normal..and if I give it gas while doing this the oily film comes out a little faster.. How much BLOW BY IS TO MUCH... just curious..thanks,

Re: blow by question

i had a similar problem on a car one time.i was told to use a oil catch can and loose the pcv system,they said something about air being pushed back in to the cranckcase from boost throught the pcv system.maybe this will help.you can test it, i know you can rig up a test can from a bottle,search for a homemade catch can.if im wrong slap me
