Do I remember seeing something about turning the rocker shaft over 180 degrees 
for a quick fix. Never tried that but it sure was written in a Chatter long time 
ago(or something like it?)
Curious~~~

Tom,

This one's really easy. Your rocker arm bushings and shaft are badly worn 
causing excessive amounts of oil up in the rocker cover that can't drain down 
quickly enough, so the breather hose is pulling this excess oil into the rear 
air cleaner.
