Could be worn piston rings/cylinder bore, causing exsessive piston crankcase pressure. The breather on the rocker cover could be blocked, or ould be head gasket gone:(

Has it been down on power recently? Can you get a compression test done?

Does it use any coolant? Has it shown any signs of overheating recently? Is there any pressure in the header tank? Does it ever blow coolant out of the tank?
