flametrap is breathin' oil 200

Well I'm visiting my brother with the plan on getting his '89 running. Here is the problem. It would start and run for a few minutes and then blue smoke would start billowing from the exhaust and then it would die. It wouldn't start again unless the fouled plugs were cleaned. I was thinking the fuel pressure regulator but that didn't help when changed. Then we looked into the intake hose and it was full of oil. I pulled the flametrap, it was clean. Pulled the breather box, it looked okay. I laid a rag across the breather box openings on the block and plugged the open hoses and the car now runs fine with the exception of the excess oil its burning off through the exhaust. Could the breather box be plugged inside? Why would all this oil be pulled through the intake?

Thanks for any suggestions
