Last time I checked (a month or two ago) there wasn't even enough to make the oil cap shift positions, much less "dance". So no, I'd call it low blowby.

I may be mis-using that term... when I used it in my title, I was envisioning oil "Blowing past" the piston rings into the combustion chamber or something... I don't even know for 100% sure if this is possible, I may have a flawed understanding of engines (to say the least). Or maybe it's one and the same thing...

Anyway, that's what I meant, and the engine does not have significant blow-by pressure at the oil cap.
