Usually, if the fit and seal are good on the dipstick, it's too much
crankcase
pressure. That could be from too much blowby, plugged crankcase breathing
or both. First thing to check is how much blowby seems to come out the
valve cover connection vs. what still comes out the hose from the fitting
on the side of the block. If noticeable more comes out from the block
than the valve cover, then your screen in there is plugged. Usually from
someone using non C rated oil in the past. Either pop the welds and
clean it then re-weld or try lots of oven cleaner or replace it and let the
old one sit out where moisture can take it's toll on the carbon and
break it up.
