Sick engine, too much work for an oil leak!!! 700 1987

So...here's a little update for anyone still listening. As far as I know the PCV breather box, condenser and hoses are all working. THe seal on the oil cap may not be the best, but its the pressure that is making it leak, not the seal. Fixing the seals will not fix the pressure problems even if they slow the leak. I had an idea to test if the intake manifold pressure line was not working but the air intake line was so I held my hand over the oil cap and ran up the throttle...I could still feel pressure but it didn't really seem to increase.

Anyways...aside from PCV hose problems and blowby, WHAT ELSE IS COULD BE DOING THIS? Also, what is the best home remedy to test for the blowby?

Thanks
