Default Oil comming out of valve cover breather!?

I have a little oil comming out of my breather filter on the valve cover. I was told it was "blow by". Its not the pvc valve.. So is this bad news? What do you all think? My car also has electrical problems and has glitched on/off a few times while in boost and in normal driving?! I think this happened when my car clitch in full boost and might of cause detonation and severed my ringlands? I've heard the H22 have weak ringlands?!

Quite likely, however a little blowby is normal. compression test will tell the story.

I had the same thing happen and I simply got a Greddy oil catch can installed. After the install, no more blow by. And my h22 drove like a completly different car, much more stronger than before the install. Saturday I was driving it hard and all of a sudden white smoke starts to pour out of my exhaust. Got it towed to the shop, wont know whats wrong with it until Monday.

h22 drag gen 3 8-9lbs
