Default vent crankcase help

didnt vent my crankcase and now im blowin white smoke and loosing oil. i was wanting some advice on what you guys did. my buddy says the pressure from crankcase may be blowing out the rear main seal under boost and when u let off after boosting it. maybe seals in the turbo?
kb racing turbo kit. 78mm, low boost 5pounds. 91 octane. good valve springs and a turbo cam. 6.0 ls.

Kinda depends on your ride. I have my driver side valve cover to the manifold with a check valve and catch can between the two. Then the driver side valve cover goes to the inlet in front of my procharger (vacuum source). Hope this helps some, and hope the engine is ok...how much smoke and oil?

Vent the pass side valve cover, run a ls6 valley cover or simply drill, put a vent in the current cover..

At the very least, vent the pcv and the pass side cover and cap everything else off. This is what I have done. You could run a catch can setup if you wanted, but its not a must.

how did you vent the pcv?, and if i seal the valve covers and just run an elbow from the valley to my catch can would that be sufficient?
