what does this mean..

i got my truck running finally off a 5 gallon tank of diesel hooked up to the feed pump. but the crankcase breather was putting out some smoke or steam or something im not sure but it was quite a bit. does someone know if that is normal for a diesel.

With a 22.5 to 1 compression ratio a decent amount of blow by is normal.

I removed the CDR a few months ago, cleaned it and put it back on. When I was finished I ran the truck and when I looked down the intake there semed to be a lot of "smoke" going down the intake. Is that normal, like a pvc on a gasser?
