if i understand you correctly,

you are saying you have oil inside the air cleaner housing.

 

this WOULD NOT, be from a blown head gasket.

it most likely be from EXCESSIVE crankcase pressure,

it is time to do a compression and leak down test.

also check to make sure the dip stick cap is on tight, but it sounds like a clogged or stuck ball in the breather if not the check compression or do all of the above

Check the drain hole in the valve sump as well as the pressure relief ball and spring getting to the relief is kind of a pain but is probably the culprit.
