oil from crankcase breather.

I went out for a drive today and when I got to my friend's I popped the bonnet and there seemed to be oil everywhere - it was coming from the breather pipe on the cam cover.
(the hose is a little short and doesn't go all the way into the air box)
What does this mean? Is it blow-by? Should I be worried?
Thanks
Stix.

I did the same for a while, but was told that vacuum is required in order to pull the oil out of the crank case?
On another note, those catch cans that we both bought from eBay (the clear plastic ones) were really rubbish. I got a bit of oil in mine to start with, but then nothing for ages. When I pulled off my valve covers (on my E55 AMG), they were both pooled with oil that hadn't been sucked out.

I've always wondered if you could use the exhaust to pull it out? Weld a bung to the downpipe at an angle, so the exhaust fumes create a kind of suction. Then any oil just ends up getting burned by the exhaust?

Stix44 Just checked oil - it's definitely using A LOT its gone from the 'full' dot to the 'low' dot in sub a 1000 miles.
Well it's definitely leaking or burning loads of it then as mine doesn't use a drop in the 10K it does between oil changes.
