X2 what Jimmy and Kerry said. Most old diesels have it, short of rebuilding, I don't think you can do much, nor should you. Obviously, if you are buying a used car -stay away from severe cases because it's indicative of a worn engine...but if it's already yours, just keep driving.
Search away (it's been discussed at great length here, so I'm not sure where you are searching) - my own personal favorite was a fellow member trying to quantify the "amount" of blow-by by taping a garbage bag to his oil cap.
By the way, I giggle everytime I see "blowby" - I have no idea the correct way to spell it either, but I always split it up into "blow-by". Why? Otherwise, my little immature little mind thinks of cute little sexual favors (pronounced similar to blowbee, as in, "hey hon, it's been awhile since you've given me a blowby".)
