oil out the dipstick

My 710 blows a lot of oil out the dipstick tube when driving above 45mph for any length of time. I have not yet checked the hose from the fill tube to see if it is clear but will be doing that in the next few days. The compression on the engine is within the normal range and all cylinders are about the same. What else do I need to be looking at?

Pull the oil fill cap off and see how much blow-by there is under load.
You may be ready for a set of rings

plugged ventilation tube. All is well and running great. Sure a lot of fun to drive the 710.
