Is your oil level high? Some people run this over a bit. How many miles on your motor, maybe its blowbye from worn rings, letting pressure into the motor? I would start by taking apart the whole assembly and cleaning it throughout, then see if you still have the problem..maybe the orignal air-exchange of the breather is no longer sufficient?

Add a flame trap to the long hose.
