intercooler pressure test question

I pressure tested my system the other day, and i attached the pressure tester to the end of the intake piping. After sealing all the leaks i was able to get the boost up to 15psi with no leaks. but at that moment the air would begin to leak out of the oil cap on the valve cover. This could only be becuase when the engine was stopped, the intake valves were left open,,,, but how are you supposed to test up to your max. boost(22-23psi) is it a guessing game after that point of whether the intake valves are open or not?
