    Does fuel pressure come up on the aeroforce guage?? I have a pretty much brand new acdelco fuel pump that was installed several months before this happened.

    the fact its pushing air out the oil fill is not good.

    machinegunsquid suggested a bad PCV valve causing air coming out of the oil fill port. That would be the best case scenario. I just picked up a new one for $3 but haven't put it in yet.

    chipped pistons = blow by. she gonna be a smoker when you gets them new plugs installed.

    Yep, the combination of blow by pressure and the conditions of the plugs do not look good. Chipped piston def seems to be the consensus
