Blow by is when gasses blow by the piston rings. A little of this always
happens.
In my case, enough goes by the rings that it very slightly pressurizes the
oil pan. It causes a small amount of oil to seep through the seal when I
am
driving.
If you didn't know that (a compression check on the cylinders would show
which ones), you wouldn't be able to tell from the car's operation.
