Too much engine blow by or runnig to rich?

HI,
I have a question on my 1985 8 vale non turbo. Here it is: Before my car would die when I took the oil dipstick off but NOW when I take it off the idle goes up. I would think the car is running too rich, But I am confused by a couple of things:
1. When I take to oil dip stick TUBE off from the engine block there is air blowing out of that tube and a little oil, but when I put the tube on the tube sucks air in??? I really dont understand this one?? Do you?
2. When I take off the blow by air vent on the vavle cover the car runs now when I died before?
3.
Conclusions?
1.Are my rings bad?
2. Is my car running to rich?
3. Stuck open valve?
4. By caused by an air leak?
Another recent devlepment is an eratic idle between 450rpms and 1000rpms--which I believe to be an air leak that I cant find.
I checked my compression 2 months ago and all 4 were at 120psi
thanks
phillip
