oil out the dipstick

ok,

so the only time i have oil coming out now with the PCV in one valve cover connected to the carb, and a breather on the other cover is when i am at high rpm.

I could try putting another breather in a knockout on the valve covers (then 2 breathers and 1 pcv)

but it sounds like i should do a compression check first? to make sure that i dont have an internal problem that could lead to more internal problems.

I have never done a compression check, but from what I understand, you put a pressure guage into the spark plug hole and turn it over. I think we have a guage at work, or i could borrow one from a neighbor.

thanks for the ideas
