engine problems

my little ol 305 has probs that suddenly appeared. as in the crankcase breather is soaked in oil to where its leaked into the breather housing and has soaked like half the air filter. also the oil pressure gauge reads 60 no matter what. it also runs rough but i suspect its because of the other 2 problems could anyone help me out here?

Try a new oil pressure sending unit..........mine was reading low until I changed that.........works great now.
On the oil blowby.......It sounds like it is rebuild time to me but before you do, put in a new PCV valve and make sure it's hose is in good shape.

THIRD?....... man!
That means "new-engine" time I bet.
Do the PCV thing and cross your fingers.........
I don't know of a easy fix for blowby but I wish I did.......I would make a billion with it!

It should just pop out.
If you have a new one............put a set of vice grips on it.
