Either a blocked breather [pcv valve or similar] too much oil, or it could well be excessive crankase pressure meaning new rings\ rebore.
How many miles has it done?

Like 95-stang said..

Excessive blow could be a clogged PCV or broken PCV.

Can also be a broken ring too.

Pull out your pcv valve and shake it. It should rattle. If it doesn't, replace it. If it does rattle, then I would recommend a compression test to verify your rings are good.
