tonights dumb question, can incorrect timing cause excessive crankcase pressure?

only ask as my 2.286 na s3 diesel has leaked oil from the top breather ever since I did the timing chain.

It could if it increases blow by. But I think there would have to be wear.

It has plenty of that

probably put it back to petrol - going off the chassis number it was originally petrol - what I save in oil can go towards the reduced economy
