Basically with your throttle closed and the car braking via the engine, you build up vacuum in the intake system which pulls oil past the worn valve guides/seals.
Hit the throttle after some time and there will be a telltale puff of smoke as the oil burns off.
I have a 1/2 mile hill near me which is ideal for this test.
