Sounds like a plugged "flame trap" (underneath the intake manifold) and it caused a leaking seal...

A very common problem - the flame trap is plugged, causing crankcase pressure to build up. An incredible amount of oil can be forced out in a very short time; our '85 Volvo expelled about 3 quarts before I could get off the freeway!
