Engine running: pull the dip stick...should be suction there. Same thing if you take the oil filler cap off. If you're getting excessive blow-by, your turbo could have a "loose" seal in it. This isn't necessarily a horrible issue but it will get worse as time goes on until it isn't very effective anymore. Just clean your throttle body every 6 months or so and try not to worry about it that much.
