excessive crankcase pressure... causes other than oil separator? 700

Not sure how scientific it is, but I had a very similar problem and did the same things as you are doing now. Then I took the car to the shop and they pulled the oil dipstick out and you could see the gases coming out, then they unpluged the hose from the flametrap and pluged the dipstick tube with the finger - the flow of gases increased from the flametrap hose and when they pluged the hose, the gases were flowing more from the dipstick tube.....took 5 minutes to do, teh guy said that it is an "excesive blowby" caused most likely by blown piston rings - In my case it was not worth it to try to open the engine and disgnose it more. The car was old and I got rid of it....
