    Crankcase filter dirty or worn engine parts is my guess for the blow by ..

    yes it was running.

    my crankcase filter gets dirty very fast so I checked where I was putting the oil for blow by and there was much more than I expected.

    Oil and smoke will come out of the filler while it's running, that's normal on every engine. It shouldn't be off while it's running but just for a few minutes won't matter. I left mine off on accident and after my trip I found 2 gallons of oil sprayed all over the inside of my hood. I'd get your blow-by tube/filter cleared as soon as you can

    Look under the truck, you will likely see blow by there too.
