Default Oil puking from cam chest vent

My 71ironhead is pushing oil out of tank lid and puking oil out of cam chest vent. Is there to much oil in it or what's going on?

Has bike been sitting a few week's? Had a shovel that would sometimes blow oil out of the crankcase breather after sitting. Read that oil can seep past check ball in oil pump and into crankcase.After a minute or two it cleared up. Mine was not a big worry. Good luck............
