[Peugeot-L] Smoke/blowby in a 405

Hi,

        Today I went for the anual safety check/emissions test in my 92 405. I passed with flying colors (0.8%CO 110 ppmHC, limits 4.5% and 800) but during the test (1 minute at 2500rpm) I noticed some oily smoke coming from where the oil filler cap is.

        I remember that when I bought the car, a small vacumm was present there and no smoke came out, at least not at idle. Now, even at idle there is a pulsing pressure flow coming from one of the two connections of the cap. THey other connection is connected to a vacumm line going to the intake manifold and its getting vacumm.

        Did I blow a ring? Or maybe there is something that gets clogged somewhere that needs cleaning? The disconnected connection, should go to the airfilter (there is an open connection in the airbox that looks like it had a hose attached at some point)
