Yeah mine is vented as well. If your factory pcv ststem is still it tact, that's the problem.

Here is how mine is run. Different blower of course but same concept. I only run 1 breather on the pass side. No issues.

Thanks guys and let me check out what could work for my setup. I'm still a little confused about how this would work, but I'm sure as I look at it closer, it will make sense. My valve covers only allow for push in breathers and I don't have an oil fill neck, but I should be able to work something out.

I'll read what you guys sent over now and appreciate the help.

I also should have mentioned I do have a breather on the pass side, and don't have any issues with that one, but the plugged hole in the drivers side valve cover is where the oil is seaping through.

Are you sure it's not leaking because of a poor seal and not from pressure.

You don't know if your pcv ststem is hooked up or not?

ya, the problem with the procharger breather setup is if you haver aftermarket valve covers you probly dont have that stock filler neck anymore, but what i did is routed the PCV thats in the lower intake put a big vaccume 3 way T on it, connected the stock pcv valve with one breather then ran a siphon tube and filter to my SC inlet, i also run 3 other breathers that just vent to the engine bay, 2 breathers per valve cover, and the one is routed with my PCV

I doubt it's from a poor seal, but it can't hurt to check. I don't have the filler neck anymore. I only have two openings on my valve covers, one per side, and at this point, one is plugged an the other has a breather. I don't have any seapage on the side that has a breather on it and that's why I was thinking I could resolve the problem if I could figure out a way to put a breather in the drivers side cover.

Will having an Anderson Power pipe effect my ability to run a siphon tube and filter to my SC inlet. I'm still trying to visualize how all this would work, so sorry if this is a stupid question.

This shouldn't be an issue as I have the UPR pp and I have my system plumbed into the inlet elbow.
See my attachment in the above post.

Got it and appreciate the input. I did print out your attachment and I do have PCV plumbed into the inlet elbow. I didn't do the install myself, but it looks like there is a tube from the elbow to the power pipe, if that makes any sense.
