your crank case should be under vacuum, not pressurized. be sure your PCV valve isn't stuck open.

Make sure the lines to your catch can aren't kinked or blocked or something.

Stock setup is a line from the downward-pointing nipple on the oil neck to the primary turbo inlet, with the nipple pointing left going to the upper intake manifold with the PCV valve inline. The '95s eliminate the PCV valve, just have both nipples capped.

For a catch can, I run both nipples going to the 2 nipples on a Jaz vented catchcan. The catchcan has a filter on top and a drain on bottom.

This is the one I have somewhat, mine just has nipples on the 2 sides, not the -AN fitting:



The crankcase has to be able to breathe or you'll get all kinds of weirdness - blowing out seals, smoking, etc. The pressure will find a way to get out.

Try driving around a bit with the oil filler cap off and see if that solves the problem
