850 Crankcase pressure

I have read much of the archives regarding this
topic, but I am still stumped.
I have a 1994 850 wagon 2.4 NA that has what
I feel is excessive crankcase pressure. If you pull
the dipstick while the engine is running you will
hear a release of what I would guess to be 5-10 psi.

Here is what I have done to this point.
Replaced Oil disptick seal
Oil filler cap seal
Removed Intake manifold
Replaced Oil separator
Cleaned/replace all Oil separator
hoses
New flame trap and housing
Replaced small vacuum line to flame trap
Cleaned throttle body/EGR

Upon removal of the old oil separator
I did note some blockage in the pipes
going into the separator. I was hoping that
was the problem, but when I put everything
back together the problem still exists.
I am concerned that I am going to blow my
other oil seals (main, front, cams, etc.) if I
continue to run the car with this problem.
Since I have replaced the filler and dipstick
seals there are no longer any oil leaks, but
maybe that was a good place for the pressure
to be going?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
