Exclamation Oil everywhere! Need help please!

I have zzp stage 3 kit with 2.8 pulley and 60# and in the past month my car has shot oil out of the dip stick tube and all over EVERYTHING! I read up on piston rings and pcv valves as possible and probable options. I did a compression test and after 4 cranks I got a reading of about 140 across the board.so I think the rings are fine, next step was to check the pcv HOSE since apparently there is no actual valve that I can replace (stupid ass design IMO) the hose was fine. I'm at a loss at this point I asked the technicians at my work since I work at an auto shop and they have no clue as well. It is not under warranty due to salvage title and what not. it only happens under medium to full boost. Normal driving wont cause any issues. I may have a slight valve cover leak as well but I'm not sure that has anything to do with it. Please help

It is an 05
what would make the intake gasket cause that issue? may sound dumb but I just want to get all the facts right and not just throw parts and time into it and it not work...this issue just started about a month ago fyi.
Thanks guys

there is a pvc in the intake on the head and the intake manifold gasket keeps it from forcing air into the crank case the gasket goes back and wail you are boosting you are pressurizing your crank case
