Probably can be fixed, goto 12v.org and look for the oil return check valve procedure but you ....
may want to give a better description or the problem first. Does it always happen? Cold? Hot? All valves?

I used to have same problem
turned out that it was because either my oil was to low, or I was using to thin oil.
Havn't had it since, (or any oil lost) since I switched to 15w50 synth
