Sorry, but your English is indecipherable. Please try to describe the issue more clearly.

Totally normal to have air coming out if you have the oil cap off and engine running... it's not exhaust.

Assuming that's what he meant to say with his encrypted babble, I doubt the car would be idling very well with the oil cap off. Actually, this whole topic is just madness. I'm out.

Actually, shouldn't matter if the oil cap is off- valvetrain doesn't need compression or anything. But yeah, out. :D
