Ur discription is still a little vague can up upload some photos pointing to where the oil is comming from breather and exhaust. As far as the milky oil it may be condensation (this will happen in cold climates) but take ur spark plugs out make sure there is no water (rusty appearance) and test compression to be on the safe side. If the oil level rises it means water is getting into the sump so we need to make sure that the level stays where it should be. Make sure the oil level is not overfull as this may contribute to oil pumping out. Does ur engine smoke when running?
