It sounds to me like the oil pressure gauge fitting since a vent should not have a stream of oil coming out! The oil pressure tubes are famous for becoming brittle due to age and heat and then cracking or breaking off. I wouldn't recommend running the engine until it's repaired because 1) it will empty the crankcase eventually 2) hot engine oil can be flammable.
