Large amounts of oil in intake

First off I'm new to the rotary world and the forums, my car is an 06 shinka edition with just under 40,000 miles on it. The car has started blowing large amounts of oil into the intake (installed a catch can but it will fill it up after one drive), but only under high load/high rpm. I've tried several of things that I read on here but nothing has changed. The car does have slightly low compression but idles good and pulls strong. Any help would be much appreciated.

That would indicate excessive crank case pressure which likely means your engine is failing.

I suspected as much...time to source a new engine. Or maybe I'll just baby it until I have enough money for a good rebuild

One thing to check though, see if your oil is overfilled. That will definitely contribute to oil in the intake.

You said compression is a touch low, what is it exactly? Do you have the test results?

I originally thought it was an over filling problem after the dealership did the oil change. But it will suck oil even when its lower than the max line. I've tried everything I can think of/read about. I'm leaning more towards 9k's and Charles thoughts of it being a bad engine. By the way Charles I'm looking forward to getting my coils that I just ordered, even if the engine is shot.
