Default major head scratcher

my 96 5.2 has a major puking problem whenever i put her under load oil pukes out the dipstick tube WTF. ive changed the PCV and checked for any clogged hoses, checked the compression which averages 140psi lowest being 128psi, ive noticed a some yogurt on my dipstick and found a puddle of oil at the front of my intake. so im not dumb but not a whiz at these things but ive narrowed it down to plenum plate, head gasket, or cracked head. now im not losing any coolant and shes not overheating so before i tear the whole thing down does anybody got any suggestions?

I suppose it's not out the question that it's possible the breather elbow, and or the rubber tube is clogged. Worth a look anyway.

Do you change the oil or someone else? Drain it and see how much there is. Maybe it was overfilled. If there is any kind of water or coolant in the oil change it anyway and see what happens. Maybe some condensation in the oil pan could explain the moisture.

If you had the oil changed recently, you might check the air filter to see if it has dumped some oil in there before you drain the oil. Its not fool proof, but it might save you some money by keeping you from trashing fresh oil.
