pcv system needs service - replace breather box, check hoses and flame trap too.

pressure builds up at high rpm and oil sprays out under the car according to the air flow and hits the back window... I bombed along I90 for a couple of hours like this, and had about a quart of oil left when I had to stop to fill up - no ill effects, can't kill these things.

probably oil filler cap is where your "leak" is, but it is just the pcv system - search for this.
