you are probably suffering from blow by. The oil cover usually has a hose the vents to the air filter...as to exactly what is causing it in your, not sure...

Check/replace PCV for starters. If it still does that, you likely have excessive blowby. Unfortnately its most likely caused by worn out engine components (rings, etc.)

128 psi to 171 psi per my haynes manual.
The important thing is that all the cylinders are within 10% of each other.

If you need directions:
