Yes, usually caused by lack of a crankcase breather. If you have the original 
engine there should be a hose that runs from the breather box to the air 
cleaner. It should be clear.

If your engine has been replaced by a later one then you may have a breather 
box with 2 (!) plastic plugs on top of it. In that case you may not have any 
place to attach the breather hose and pressure builds up inside until it pushes 
oil out the back.

Tell us what you have.
