Default blow by

I have a 91 cherokee with a 4.0 and an automatic. I have some oil coming out of the top of pipe where the dipstick goes in. I've talked to a few people and they say it's blow by. What would cause it? And how would i fix it

blow by is caused by worn piston rings. to fix it you need to re ring the pistons or rebuild the engine
