Normal movement of the pistons creates pressure in the crankcase, which pressure is released through the crankcase vent.
Additional pressure in the crankcase may be created by compression escaping from the combustion chamber past worn rings and cylinder into the crankcase.
The crankcase vent is supposed to prevent pressure from building in the crankcase.
Good Fortune!
