No fuel or coolant in oil.  The oil is just dripping slightly out of the top of the dipstick tube.  Changed PCV valve just to see if that would help, but to no avail.  Blowby seems to be the consensus.  Thanks for all the replies.

Likely the felt gasket that is supposed to seal the dipstick to its tube is gone. 

Or the crankcase does not have any kind of fresh air inlet. PCV only works when there is some kind of FILTERED fresh air inlet. The original inlet was a hose leading to a foam filter inside the air cleaner. 3/4 of the AMC sixes I have seen had that line plugged or disconnected with the owners wondering why their engine pukes oil out everywhere and only lasts 100,000 miles between rebuilds.
