Check your PCV valve on the front port of the valve cover to see if it rattles and has suction. Oil from the dipstick tube usually indicates high crankcase pressure.

If it's not either of those, then what you probably have is a high mileage 4.2/258 motor with a blow by condition due to failing oil rings on 1 or more pistons.
