Boy do I REALLY hate to be the bearer of bad news but it sounds like you have a hole in a piston! this will pressurize the case and usually blows the oil out the rear main bearing which has no seal. original engine?? never rebuilt?? a German car?? you have the domed pistons which will burn easily with the cheap gas in the US. This time I hope Im wrong for your sake.
