Question Blow-by question

Just how much blow by vapor shopuld be coming out of the tube when the engine is warmed up? I noticed at night under some bright security lights that my truck was steaming up from underneath (i relocated my breather bottle to underneath by the tranny). I was able to crawl underneath with a flashlight and it was all coming from the breather tube. How much is too much?

When I get off an interstate after a long drive, it's not uncommon to see a significant amout of smoke coming from the breather hose. Mine is routed away from the fan, so it isn't dispersed and is really evident.
