Excessive crankcase pressure? 200 82

posted by  someone claiming to be Rick Sleeper, formerly Rick '82 Turbo on  Sat Sep 29 15:20 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I was fiddling with my '82 Turbo today and when I was done I took it for a quick spin to see how it was behaving. I got about half a mile and stopped at a stop sign and got a lot of oil smoke out from under the hood. When I got back home I popped the hood and there was a oil coming from the fill cap. It has never leaked before and it was clean 2 days ago. I know this has no flame trap so it can't be that. I took the cap off with the engine running and there is a very slight amount of pressure. I looked through the archives and it seems the suggestions lean toward the "box" on the side of the engine under the manifold being plugged. Could the rubber hose going from the box to the intake plumbing over the top of the valve cover be part of the problem?
