Cold weather and flame trap question on '95 960 900

Looking over the engine today and see that oil is being pushed past the filler cap. Last week the dipstick pushed out..... all in temperatures at minus 30C and beyond with windchill.

I suspect condensation in the flame trap maybe.... or other suggestions that relate to extreme cold and high crankcase pressure??

Also had a check engine code in this fine weather ...... the ECU coded itself as suspect although everything ran fine. Code turned off and no reoccurence!!

    I suggest pulling the flame trap and cleaning it, also check that there is not a vacuum leak in the line going to the trap housing. Mine had a crack on the inside of the rubber elbow going into the flame trap housing.
