Possible early signs of blow by?

Hi folks, this is for my 87 300D turbo:

I have three small oil leaks which I believe to be early signs of blow by. The first leak is coming from the top of the valve cover at the breather tube. The 2nd one is at the rearmost valve cover bolt on the passenger side (near trans dipstick). The last one seems to be either from the front most driver's side valve cover bolt and/or from the first intake valve. I believe its the former and its leaking down on top of the intake valve.

I checked the oil to make sure I didn't overfill and/or the effects of the very warm summer heat (over 96 the past week). It was nearly perfect after 30 minutes of driving, a touch below the max line on the dipstick. Nevertheless, I vac extracted just a little w/ my Mityvac fluid evacuator to pull the oil level down just a hair.

So is this the early signs of blow by? If yes, I have plenty of reading to do. If no, can anyone throw up some recommendations what it might be?

Bob
