Default blow by ???

long story short I felt over the oil fill hole while the cap was off and engine was running and i felt a good amount of air puffing out. now from what i have read in other forums this is blow by and is NOT a good thing, but nobody has a clear answer on if it is bad or normal. Some say a lil is normal and others say there should be vacum. can someone help me out on this one. I have an 03 s2k if that helps. The engine sounds fine and from what i can tell it runs like a champ. I was door to door with an RS4 from about 35 to 60 so i know power is there.

What integra said. Blow by generally means oil is getting past the rings and making its way into the combustion chamber causing a bluish white smoke that comes out of the exhaust. (usually smells like an old train set that uses oil to make smoke come out of the little smoke stack)
