New engine. Less than 100miles on it. The only leaks I found were the oil fill cap and base of dip stick (stick didn't pop out).

Thoughts?

Drive it for the next 900 miles and let everything break in--assume your not running synthetic?
You got the break the motor in first-- then see what you are dealing with...your going to get some blow by but depending on how tightly the motor was built will subside or remain. Will know more with more miles,

Nope, still on dino oil. I swapped to a 10w30 after breaking in with 30w noon-detergent.
