How do I check my turbo blow by?
However, one of the tell-tale signs of excessive blow-by is white smoke billowing from the oil-fill tube or opening on a valve cover. To check this, set the oil-filler cap upside down on the tube or opening. If it immediately blows off, there definitely is too much crankcase pressure.

Can a bad Turbo drain line blow out oil?
Saw that happen on my dads truck. C15 with the breather tube right across from where the turbo drain line comes into the block. It was blowing out as much oil as air. Turbo seals fixed it. That will tell you pressure but not volume right ?
