On the oil filler neck, there's a nipple. What's it connected to?
Sounds like a PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system malfunction...
So long as you warm the engine up, the temperature will boil off the moisture and it won't do too much damage in the short term. But I suggest you look into connecting a PCV valve between that nipple and a vacuum source on the intake manifold.
I forget where the breather filter is supposed to go.
