Its typical to get a little bit out of the tube, but if it never did before, and is now, and its a lot, then I'd guess you have something wrong. Two possibilities come to mind - piston rings leaking badly, causing excessive positive crankcase pressure, or waterpump seals leaking coolant into crankcase. Water in the crankcase will froth up with the oil and cause severe bleading out the breather. Check for froth on the dipstick, and check your coolant level.

waterpump help

here's a link for help if you end up needing it.
Check the dipstick for froth after the motor is good and hot.

HEY hoover okay frist the blow by is normal for about half the ds's out there and as for the water my ds dose not like more than the min amount of water in the resivor if you put any more she spits it out and i know of others with the same symptons so if she is not haveing any problems you proabably dont have any check your oil for water.maybe do a leak down check then if alls. all right have a little fun and don't worry.
