Will Reinserting Dipstick Cause New Cam Seals to Blow? S90-V90 1998

‘98 V90 here! And hello again!

I replaced the PCV system and the front cam seals about a half year ago. Ever since, I’ve been running with the dipstick popped for fear that the seals would blow. As far as I knew, the old seals were original. I still get smoke out the dipstick, but oil is starting to blow out of it causing a mess.

My thing is this: if I’m still getting smoke out the dipstick hole when the stick it out, would putting it back in cause the engine to over pressure and pop the cam seals? I’d really rather not do them again (easy but time consuming) and I also don’t want an oil soaked engine.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
