PCV not functioning properly?

 

[FastRegalWE2]

it was worn rings in mine

 

[sweetv6]

it was head gasket in mine

Are you using aftermarket valve cover breathers and/or grommets? I put grommets in that were designed to keep splash oil out of the breathers ( they had slits in the bottoms for venting ) Dam near the most restrictive things known to man. cut out the bottoms and the problem was fixed.

All of the above but I would probably look at the pcv first
