Sounds very disturbing indeed. Obviously sounds like Blowby.
How is your Crankcase pressure when you remove the Oil Fill Cap?
I hate to be a pessimist but it sounds like a broken Ring or very loose
Guides that
would only do that after a lot of pooling in your head. If an Oil spray
makes it all the way
to the rear of the Tailpipes, it must be very well concentrated at the
front.
Sounds like a Compression / Leakdown Test might be in order. I'm surprised
there isn't
other symptoms like in the way she's running.
