Worth checking, in any case, since it's an easy test for a common problem.
I pass the vacuum oil cap test, but at my track day a few months ago I had someone report that they saw a faint stream of smoke behind my car.

Do cars pull more vacuum at WOT/High RPM/High power situations?

If so then maybe I am at preliminary stages of AOS failure?

Fun times this Christmas break
