Pull the breather hose off with the engine running and watch to see what is 
coming out. At idle it is normal to see a bit of puffing. When you speed up the 
puffing should not increase much. If you are getting a lot of stuff coming out 
while just standing still, then this could indicate a blow-by problem.

I realize that this require a pretty subjective judgment call. It might be best 
if you could compare your breather output with someone else's.
