Default Need help... Oil blow back???? #@@$%&

A friend of mines car is going to be the death of me. First off its a 94Z A4 with only headers, ory, hooker catback, cai. I thought it was blowing oil past the rings but the car doesnt burn oil, or smoke, but oil come out of every possible port it can. he put a valve cover breather on it last week to try to reduce some of the pressure but with in 2 days it was completely covered in oil (and the baffle is intack). The oil dipstick will not stay down all the way, the pressure blows it up, and oil makes it all the way to the top and comes out the dip stick. I can not figure it out, if anyone has any suggestions please,_________________________ fill in the blank.
