Cracked or damaged fuel pump housing or block mating surface.

Leak somewhere else, with oil running down to pump.

FWIW, it's possible for an engine to have pretty good compression
readings, but still have enough blowby at high rpm/load to overwhelm the
PCV system.  I believe this is a symptom of worn cylinder walls, where
the rings can follow the walls at cranking speeds, but not when the
engine is running.
