1985 Jeep CJ-7 mileage: 225,000. My engine is blowing oil out around the distributor shaft, oil dip stick, oil pan, and up into the air filter. A compression check shows approximately 160 PSI, dry to 175 PSI wet. All vacuum lines intact and pulling approximately 20" HG including through the PCV valve. Would this be a piston and ring problem or just the head (valve seals) or something else?

You may have piston ring problems. The PCV valve can only handle so much blow by, the excess will result in the problem you are experiencing. Try a cylinder leak down test to check the rings for blow by.
