Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) blowing oil out dipstick

Yes, you're looking at the right thing. The tappet cover can't be removed without removing the injection pump, so yes it's a bit of a job. If you don't see any vapors at all coming out of the breather tube then I'd venture to guess it is blocked.
