What would cause engine oil to blow back through the fill hole?

It's called "blow-by. It's a condition caused when the piston rings do not seal adequately against the cylinder walls, and exhaust gasses "blow by" the pistons, into the crankcase. Oil vapor and small droplets are constantly movin around inside the engine, and the moving exhaust gas just blows some out of any available opening.

What would cause a knocking sound only when coasting?
With Coasting I presume the sound is coming from the engine yes? If that is the case then the engine may be out of timing. this is easily adjusted but i would still only recommend having this fixed by a qualified mechanic. more details on the timing: Every engine is carefully timed. the knocking may be created by the piston hitting the closing or opening inlet/outlet valves on the way back up. this can cause severe damage to the engine as the valves could potentially bore through the piston resulting in possible damage to the piston walls as it slowly starts grinding its way through the engine walls. you may want to have this seen to.
