Default how much oil in breather

Ive got a cossie powered Westfield. Just emptied the catch/breather tank and it must have had a pint of crap oil in it. I've had the car a year and not emptied it...doh... is this normal? Checked plugs for oil etc and all appears fine. Also appears to be pushing oil up the dipstick tube?

Any ideas most welcome

If the breather is plumbed in correctly, the engine shouldn't be pushing oil up the dipstick tube. How is the tank plumbed in? How much boost/power are you running ? How many miles on the engine ?
