Then the oil pools at the back of the head and does just what you described. Easy fix, take a piece of wire (old coat hanger) and run it down the hole to clean it out. Does the engine smoke a little when you first start up? I never heard of this. Can you post a pic of the hole so I know exactly where to look? Thanks!
