i very very much doubt its a problem with your motor. The PCV is a component which equalizes pressure outside to the pressure inside the chamber wherer the crankshaft sits. Most probably, this component is faulty and is not equalizing pressure, so whats happening is the pressure is trying to equalize through the dipstick hole.
This is not particularly dangerous, but just adds stress to some engine components, and just isnt a good thing to have. Get it checked out. It would be a simple and cheap fix.
