Can a really dirty or clogged air filter cause?
A really dirty air filter will cause a greater restriction in the intake tract. This will cause greater vacuum levels. If your engine has weak/worn oil seals (such as valve seals), having higher vacuum can pull oil past these and cause the engine to burn oil. EDIT:
What should I do if my engine oil keeps blowing into the air filter?
Purchase an engine flush formula from your local parts store and follow the directions. In general you will pour the formula into the oil and run the engine for a period of time. Once the engine has been flushed drain the oil and fill it with fresh engine oil. Replace the filter and see if the problem persists.
Can a performance air filter cause a car to burn oil?
Oil is pulled from the upper valve cover oil/air separator cavities through the PCV fresh air hose into the intake tube. If this is happening there will be liquid oil in the intake tube. The other way air filters contribute to oil use is cylinder and ring wear.
Why is oil coming out of my air cleaner?
Check out the article, Understanding Blowby in Motorcycle Engines, from MotorcycleCruiser.com. It explains why you had oil pumping out if your air cleaner assembly. The only other reason for this to happen can be from a broken oil pump or overfilling, as you mentioned. I have the same problem, and yes, my filter does need to be cleaned.
What causes oil to get into the air filter?

Can a crankcase air filter cause oil consumption?
Sometimes considerable oil is forced back into the air-filter box and makes a mess. But I’ve never seen one cause oil consumption like you experienced…Anything is possible I guess…perhaps the crankcase air intake is completely unbaffled so if air flow is reversed, a lot of oil can escape into the intake… lebaugh July 5, 2016, 10:17pm #9
What happens if you don’t change the oil filter?
If the oil is not changed at proper intervals, or proper care is not taken of the oil filter, the oil will accumulate debris that causes the oil passages in the piston rings and pistons to clog. This will increase both oil consumption and wear on engine parts. Dirty oil will wear on bearings, cylinders, pistons, and piston rings.
