Check your PCV valve, it could be stuck and causing to engine block to
really get pressurized. I had the PCV get stuck once on my Shadow ES and
from that it blew out the valve cover seal (Dodge uses that sillycone
stuff to seal it) and the oil pan gasket.

Subject: DML: BIG PROBLEM!!!
okay ya'll, new problem.... this one is a biggie, so any help you guys
can
give me would be greatly appreciated. I have an oil leak. It drips down
onto the oil pan or maybe it is the oil pan... I dunno, but I've been
losing a
lot of oil. Got my oil changed last SUnday and I just added 1.5 quarts
today! I thought "man that must be a huge oil leak" Well, it's more than
a
leak. I discovered oil around my Crankcase breather today (actually,
around where the breather goes into the valve cover) and there is oil ON
my Crankcase breather, also there is a small amount of white smoke
coming out of my tail pipes when I give it ANY gas. AAAARRRGGHHH!!!!
There seems to be oil everywhere! I wiped down all the spots where
there was "fresh" oil, and I'm gonna' take it out to see if I get oil on
these
areas again. I love my Dak, but it's really startin' to have problems.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!
