Was wondering if anyone else has oil blowing back through the crankcase breather tube into the air filter box? Also what has helped to fix it.

Check your PCV valve.

Already have done that multiple times. Still does the oil blowback. Even had to replace the breather filter and air filter multiple times, because they get destroyed by this oil coming in.

The plumbing from the PCV valve to the engine in good shape? It needs to draw a vacuum on it otherwise the blowby gasses will go out the inlet. Any other oil leaks? Big ones like leaky cam covers will keep it from pulling the gasses out to the PCV valve. In a worse case if the piston rings are almost shot there will be too much blowby and it will blow lots of oil out too.

There are really no other leaks. Lose at the worst a quart into the air box between oil changes.
