Like Bat says, check the breather system is ok and not blocked, after that its possibly worn rings or damaged pistons causing blow by..... does it run ok?

check the above as the guys says

a quick get out is fit a spring to the dipstick .... a bodge realy

but.... you must sort the other problems firstley

Mine did exactly this. To cure it, I removed all of the breather system and replaced it with a much simpler option. Now I have a filter on the timing cover and just a hose venting to atmosphere from the clutch housing. Also I tapped the rocker cover and fitted another breather on there.

Worked a treat!,

But the actual cause of the problem is more than likely to be worn rings.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Hi,
I'd say not for the rings, unless it's smoking out the back.
There's the red valve that has a rubber flap inside, you can pull it apart.
This usually curls up and goes hard, stopping it from sealing properly.
Cheers,
Gavin :)
