These things can get blocked with sludge on high mileage cars, and jam open.
I'd say the valve in the PCV is not working properly. The way it works is, the light spring holds it open and manifold vacuum closes it (but not fully).
Take it apart and make sure the valve is not stuck and also check there's no holes in the diaphragm.
If you run the motor with the PCV setup disconnected it should not blow heaps out the breather- if it does you may have a blowby problem (pistons & rings).
