Small Block Blowback?

5.7 350 Chevy
I'm getting a fair amount of oil blowback out the valve cover tubes being deposited into the spark arrestor. Is this a fatal sign or can I run through the summer? RIngs shot?
Help

I have done nothing. Should I just rebuild it? See, I don't wanna until after the season

Hell, run it.
Keep an eye on the oil level, make sure it isnt too high, (or that it gets too low) and run it.
Likely run all season.

1step, you are my new best pal That's what I want to hear That's what I'm gonna do I have a sig line for you if you're interested: "Tell your chick to stop chicking me out"
It's running pretty dang strong as of last week. May need to rebuild the carb though.

Leak test it and know where you are at. Then decide.

Get the roller cam block, a set of gt 40 heads, injected and hang on to your ass.
