Sounds like blow by. Might be worn rings causing pressure to enter the block. Check the PCV system, if your lucky, maybe its clogged.

Did you relocate the pcv from the throttle body to the air filter? If not, you need to.

Should've told us the motor was brand new as well

I'd follow Sliver's advice and see how things fair.

Then it's as originally said, it has blow by from the mileage on it. If you put too much boost through it and the rings were still semi-good, then that could easily have blown em out.

Been there, done that, It's a cracked ring land! Don't mean to be negative, but stock lt1's don't like boost. They are more nitrous friendly. I had a p1sc on a stock lt1 w/ 30000k it lasted 5 or 6k before #8 ringland cracked, causing excessive blowby = dipstick popping out of the tube on a wot run. Still made 426whp and 425tq on 7psi intercooled!
