I have a problem, I just recently put all new gaskets,seals,and bearings in my 302ci The only thing i left in there were the rings because they only had 5000 miles on them and car didnt smoke. So i put my motor back together and take it for a test drive and my rear intake gasket starts leaking, and also my valve cover gaskets and it was even makeing my dipstick blow out of the tube So my question is does this seem like blow by through the rings and maybe all the compression is getting into the crankcase making my engine like an air tank. Because I heard when you take the pistons and rings out and put the same ones back in this can happen. oh and it also leaks around my oil cap so when i noticed this happening something didnt seem right that alot of my gaskets were leaking because I have built alot of engines in the past and nothing like this has ever happened. PLEASE HELP ME OUT

THANKS CHRIS

do a compression test on each cylinder and post results with results you will be able to see if you have blow by.
