Oil slick on rear hatch 900 1997

Help!

I have a 97' 960 wagon which upon heavy acceleration seems to blow oil out of a valve located near the crankcase. This results in an oil slick on the back hatch and increased oil consumption even though it seems not to be burning it. Motor has 130k miles on it. Problem started after having oil changed the first time (i bought car with 95k miles on it), they had put in 7.5 quarts- later looking at the manual it recommends 5.5. This would make sense for the first time, but I've had oil changed several times since then, but same problem is occuring. Thanks in advance for any assistance!
