Default Help Please with my 2001 s80 t6

I really could use some info. I had some issues with pressure building up in the crankcase. One of the caps on the top of the cam cover blew out. I was told it was the pcv system that caused that. So I tore it down. Replaced said cap and complete pcv system. Put it back together and started it up and it ran for about 20 seconds and cut off. Started it back up and same thing. Then I noticed that the seal had pushed out again on the front end intake side. So obviously it is still building up pressure in the crank.
My question is what else could be causing the pressure build up? Could it be the wastegates or the turbos themselves?
Any help with this would be great thank you in advanced.

How about a hole through the piston?


When it's idling, the turbos are not doing anything. You've got a vacuum gauge there to tell you what the manifold pressure is, and it ought to be quite far into vacuum. It's nothing like that.


The shutting off is a curiosity.

I think I may have pin pointed the problem.

Not knowing how bad oil stop leak was I put some in the engine. And im pretty sure that the baffles in the oil pan are clogged if not the passages inside the block that lead to the oil trap.
