Check out the valve cover gaskets, replace the PCV valve, etc.

Usually anytime I've seen something like this is usually an indication of a cracked ringland.

I would start with doing a compression and or leakdown test and go from there.

So I checked the compressin. I got cyl 1. 155 2.. 150 3. 125 4.140 so that wouldn't be a ringland would it?
