I fitted a catch tank to cure my xe of this, it still did it even with the modified rocker cover.

Oil surge is an absolute bugger on these - lets out a huge cloud of blue smoke, then tends to be fine after that. Scared the shite out of me the first time it did it 
Just got embarrassing after that - overtake something, go round a corner and explode into a cloud of smoke!

That's the catch tank I had on mine. Get a little filter to stick on the 2nd outlet on the tank so it can breathe, then stick a bung in the hole left on the throttle body.
