Crankcase breather

Hi. I have a problem that I hope someone might be able to help me with.I have just recently been able to get my car out on the road after finishing the rebuild of my motor. I notice that there is an oil leak coming from the bottom of my K an N crankcase breather.Its not the red oil that comes with it but motor oil. .There is nothing stopping the oil from being slung off the rocker arms, going throught the rubber gormet into the inside of the mesh material and leaking on my Steering box. Its not a lot of oil but enough to keep things messy.A friend of mine said there is a baffle that is made to stop the oil from entering the breather, but still allowing it to breathe.I cant seem to be able to find one.Can anyone tell me a solution to fix my problem?

What kind of valve covers?

Sometimes you can get lucky with a baffled grommet, assuming you have room, as they hang in a bit deeper into the valve covers.

Or you can make a sheet metal baffle that attaches to the valve cover itself.
