The presence or lack of shaft play does not go hand in hand with a blown oil seal. Pull the lower intercooler pipe and check for accumulating oil. If that's relatively clear check the intake plenum for oil.... if your dipstick likes to pop out after driving for a bit you may be experiencing excessive blowby (bad rings); do a leak down test to further diagnose at this point.
