Default 1997 warrior 350 white smoke and pressure in crankcase and oil comes out of dipstick

Just rehabbed a 1997 warrior and it runs after sitting for 2 years. It has white smoke coming out exhaust and oil comes out of dipstick. When I remove dipstick their is pressure as I untwist the dipstick from tube. I think it is the head gasket so any advice is greatly appreciated.

It is a single cylinder engine, 350ccs of air gets pushed out of crankcase every time the piston goes down, and 350 ccs get pulled back in every time it rises. Check the breather system is OK before thinking about blown gaskets.

Thanks merryman you were right. The tube from crankcase was clogged with dirt. I cleared it out and we are good to go. Thanks for your help.
