Hi, I have a 1994 Dodge Spirit that has 97000 miles on it. When I first bought the car about 6 months ago, everything was running fine. Then one day I was driving and pulled up to a stop sign and it stalled out, and the oil light on the inside dashboard came on. It has continued to stall out ever since everytime I am at a red light or a stop sign for too long (any longer than about 3 minutes or so).
I have figured out that the car is stalling because the oil is blowing by the engine into the breather. But, am not sure what is causing the blowby.
The car runs and drives perfectly other than this problem. Can you help me figure out an answer?

Try replacing the PCV valve inspect passages-don't work have the engine compression check to rule out the cylinder rings-
