If you are getting a lot of oil smoke and pressure out of the filler, you will have some combustion leaking past the rings, this is called blow by, the engine rings will be worn.

Its a little smoke only from Engine Oil Filler (dipstick tube). Not continuously coming.
Can I get Engine replacement(under warranty) for BlowBy problem?
