    You have a blockage between the inner and outer and inner rear crank seals. If the outer seal is driven in too far it blocks the vent hole and the crankcase can't breath. On the down stroke the pistons will pressurize the case and cause oil to blow by the rings. The drivetrain will need to be removed to access the seals. If you are not experienced in mechanical work, I would suggest that you have this done by a professional mechanic, familiar with this model.

Hi, it seems tha you have a blocked breather on you engine, as pressure builds up it has to come of somewhere. Check all breathers coming out of the engine.Also depending upon molleage your pistons may be letting some compression go to the engine "belly"
Good luck

I have a bmw 330i 2006 and i have oil coming out of the oil filler cap thats on top of the engine what could be the problem because the cap it self looks fine and tight

You may be having problems with the crankcase pressure regulating valve (PCV). If this is clogged or malfunctioning, pressure can build up inside the engine and blow oil out the filler tube.

Where is the filler cap located in my bmw 325i 2002 model

Your question did not specify what "filler cap".
The above response from FTjoe is for the power steering filler cap.

The following RealOEM link is for the engine oil filler cap (Item 4) which is square and black and is on top of the engine. It goes through the plastic cover into the cylinder cover

Bmw 318i oil leak

make sure that the filler cap seal is in place and not gone hard over time also has the rocker cover been off at some stage if it has check that the gasket has not moved the other thing to look out for is that the PCV (breather )valve is in good working order if it is damaged the sump compression will rise and push oil out

Need to change the oil on my 800 classic, not sure where to start

1.You must have the recommended number of liters
of oil replacement in your position.
2. Locate the oil drain plug. This is either at the side
or at the the bottom of your engine.
3. Open the oil filler cap.
4. Unscrew the oil drain plug counter clockwise and
allow the engine oil to drain until it stops dripping.
5. Screw the oil back in place tight. Fill it up with
the oil replacement at the place where the oil
filler cap was placed, up to the point of maximum
oil level.
6. Replace the oil filler cap and close tight..
