Oil coming out breather

I just noticed recently that when rev I rev my car to 9k I notice a little oil has sprayed out the valve cover breather...I have good compression numbers and it doesnt smoke at all.......anybody else have this problem. Im thinking about just running a catch can off the VC.

Do you just have a filter on the VC fitting? Id say you need a catch can.

Maybe..if you have excessive crankcase pressure..which would normally be caused by bad rings.
