if its moderate I would consider it blow by, if it seems like too much try routing back into stock position?

If it's just blow-by you could always mount a stem instead of the filter and run a braided fuel line into one of your headers. That way it just shoots out the back instead of making such a mess.

Does it have a baffel? Is the pcv hooked up?

how many miles on the motor? if under 100, start beating on it. you need load to seat the rings. i had blow by from my motor when i first started it. a few wot blasts to the rev limiter got rid of most of it. took it to the track once when there was only about 40miles on it and the blow by was gone.

if oil is squirting out, he might not be running a baffle in the valve cover
