After a week, the air cleaner is half full of oil, and the motor is down a quart, or more. The engine is a 4.0 inline 6. Enybody have any advice on this?

Since you didn’t tell us your mileage we can only guess, but its probably either the egr is shot or the engine is plain worn out.
my guess is the pvc ..thats the thing on top of the value cover ..looks like a platic spark plug.. but i would take it in
with that much oil lose
Check The PCV Valve.

Sounds like Blow By to me. I am guessing that it has over 100,000 miles. More than likely it needs rings but I would take it to a mechanic and ask them to run a compression check on it and explain what it is doing to the mechanic.
I AGREE WITH MAXEVENS SOUNDS LIKE BLOWBY TO ME ALSO I HAVE A 92 F150 THATS DOING THE SAME THING I BOUGHT A NEW MOTOR FOR IT . YOUR MAINSEAL MAY BE SHOT.
