Crankcase Pressure

Crankcase Pressure
My 97 has 205k and runs great. I had a fuel leak I was chasing down and I removed the spider and boots. There was a film of oil in the turbo and spider. So I plugged the CCV port on the intake and vented the CCV to the air.
I cleaned up the CCV and put new o-rings on and new 3/4 hose. I started the truck and there was a little white smoke coming out of the hose at idle and cleared up a little when I rev the truck up.
My concern is the pressure that was coming out, I could feel a little bit of air coming out but when I plugged it for a few seconds and released, it had pressure built up and I could hear and feel a large amount of air escaping.
The truck has good power and runs smooth, starts fine and does not burn any oil. Just seems like a lot of pressure to me, like the rings are worn out. Maintenance has been done exceptionally well by the previous owner and me. Maybe its just tired, or maybe its normal, any thoughts guys?
