Now, Now, Tom.  Apparently it is acceptable for him to spout off

PCV....  on a diesel....  now THAT'S funny.

Tell me - what do you think would happen if you introduced crankcase
vapors - oil mist - to the intake of a running diesel?

The whole purpose of the vent tube IS to ventilate the crankcase.  Up until
'00, the crankcase was simply vented to the atmosphere.  Then DC added a
catch bottle, to be emptied at each oil change.  The HPCR version of the ISB
saw the introduction of a crankcase breather system, which attempts to
return the oil to the crankcase, while still venting the case to the
outside.  This works better, but still isn't 100%.

In other words, as others here who actually OWN, OPERATE, and MAINTAIN these
exact engines tried to tell you, it's normal operation.

Remember our discussion from last week?  You're doing it again...

Either you have a bad or plugged PCV valve or excessive blowby from
engine wear or stuck piston rings

I have a 99 dodge ram 3500, and it has just started leaking oil from the blow
by vent valve.  Any ideas on what to do?

Thank you!
