Crancase vent problem

I posted this question in my other thread but thought since it was a different issue I'd put up a new one.

I got my Deuce Multi running today for the first time. It runs really nice and smooth, sounds strong but after about 1 minute at idle it starts bellowing oil out of the crancase vent tube. It REALLY comes out fast if you give it throttle. I'm just wondering what is causing this and where I should start as far as diagnosing/fixing it. Thanks for any suggestions, you guys have been a huge help to me so far! :D

Smoke or vapor is normal. It you are spewing out a steady flow then you have a serious issue. Could be HH, or gasket, fuel in the oil, or time for an overhaul. Is it overfilled?
Oil should be 1 inch above full mark when run for a short time. Also, how hard are you running it?

This is the first time I've run it. I idled around about 400 yards or so. Didn't run it hard in the least. I haven't changed the oil yet but plan to do that in the next day or so. I just replaced the Hydraulic Head.
