two main reasons
1 a beather pipe is blocked somewhere
2 your piston rings are shot or bores
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, Chardonnay in one hand, Tequila in the other, body bearing battle scars and totally worn out, screaming- WOO HOO!! What a Ride!

On the side of your cylinder block is a oil breather pick up pipe which terminates in what looks like a small square box.
In this box is a flap valve designed to stop oli being drawn into your cards. Sometimes this jams and your crankcase cannot breather anymore.

checked the breather pipe for blockages when it first did it.
I have just bought the engine completely rebuilt, so it should have new rings... hopefully.
