This normal to a small extent, hence the use of oil catch cans but if it is severe its likley to be caused by excess crank case pressure. This could be caused by overfilled oil in the best case or as said above worn rings or a leaking head gasket.
However is the rings were worn that badly the car would be hard to start due to the low compression on whichever cylinder has the issue.

Do a compression check and a sniff test to check rings and gasket.

did a compression test all good, car starts and drives perfect no miss fire r nything,
