Just a bit more info.

Is this a newer engine?
Has it had its first oil change?
Did this just start to happen or has this been going on for a while?

Ring seating is a primary reason there is blowby on new engines.

For those not so new, a simple compression test if a leak down is not available may give you some indication of which cylinder may have a bit to much wear or stuck ring(s).

Additionally, a plug check may also lead you to a cylinder that is challenged.
