If too much crankcase pressure, the pressure is going to go somewhere and may take oil with it. On older vehicles there used to be a draft tube. Then they went to pcv valve. So check it out. Could be other issues like a gasket or something? In the past on different vehicle, I had a melted piston, a small place on the edge. So much crankcase pressure, it blew the pcv valve out and sprayed the whole engine compartment with oil.
