How much water vapor is OK from Crankcase Vent?

All, My 97 12v with 152K is releasing more white vapor than I can recall from the past. Oil level is fine, had Head Gasket replace at 146K due to head warp and blown HG [assume overboost and EGT played a part]. Since then have not exceeded 1300 F egt momentarily, 1200 for longer term. Max boost is 35PSI.

How much white smoke / vapor is OK? We get some drips from this tube , not all oil.

Thanks!

Luke
