High crank case pressure is caused by "Blow By" (Exhaust Gas bypassing the Compression rings on your pistons a little blow by perfectly normal) There will be a valve like a PCV valve in your Valve cover. Its probably faulty, replace it. may be plugged, change it.

You have oil leaking out of your air filter on your Briggs and stratton engine?
the valves or rings are allowing compression blow by to enter the crankcase which causes excess pressure that is brought to the carburetor by the breather tube. your engine is getting tired or you have too much oil in the crankcase.
What causes high crankcase pressure?
High crankcase pressure usually would be caused by clogged oil journals in the engine. There are passages through out the engine allowing gasses to escape from it. Older Ford Trucks actually had a vent tube that stuck out of the bottom of the engine to release this pressure. Burned valves and bad lifters and/or push rods can cause this also. Generally a tear down would be necessary to pin point the problem.
What can cause gas to get into the crankcase on a 97 Pontiac 4-cylinder fuel injected 2.2?
Possible causes of fuel in crankcase are: Leaking injector at shutdown, flooding of the engine due to hard starting, defective fuel pressure regulator. A fuel pressure check for drop of fuel pressure at shut down will verify if an injector is leaking. Get this fixed ASAP, and stop driving the car until you do. Fuel in the crankcase will cause severe engine wear and destroy this engine. Change the oil and filter if you have to drive it anywhere for repair.

What is the meaning of PCV system in an engine?

What is the purpose of a PCV valve on the 93 Acura Legend?
A PCV valve is for positive crankcase ventilation. It is to keep crankcase pressure from building up in the engine. If it does it can cause seal leakage, air filter contamination and engine blowby.
What is a pbc valve?
