Keep your pants on, there are other causes of this as well. Any sort of crankcase pressurization will put oil in the breather - but sometimes it's not a blowby issue. A blown head gasket can do this if it's in the right place, as can a plugged PCV valve (which is why I asked).

BHW does your PCV valve receive a good dose of vacuum?
