With oil fill cap on, remove PCV tube and see how much it puffs out (catch oil w/ rag). If not much, the engine is fine. Even a new engine will have a slight puffing from that small hole. Then test oil fill opening. Try "cap jiggle" test, or puffing w/ hole open. Videos on youtube to judge.
Mr. Grissom, thank you so much for the reply!

I will do that when have oil in.
