I dont think its the head gasket mate, I said the PCV system seems abit clogged as that 90degree pipe was in a bad state.
What you need to do either
1- rip out the pipework from the oil fitler housing upto the rocker cover and inlet and replace with Catch can

This is due to the previous owner not keeping upto servicing the car as it should be done. ie oil changes on a regular basis. I maybe wrong but with my expierence thats mostly the problem.
I would suggest dropping the oil and filter replace with new, take the sump off and replace/clean the pick up pipe. After this it SHOULD run oright I know the feeling your going through though mate its a nightmare but it WILL be worth it lol
