Oil drips out of breather cap right after shutting off car..

I just finally got my engine put back together after it sitting all summer not being able to drive..long story short before I ripped it apart, I had an issue with the oil leaking out the breather cap and onto the header..I bought taller valve covers since the p/o thought short covers and rocker arms mixed well..it looked like someone beat them with a hammer....

Now that the taller valve covers are on, it seems like it only drips out of the breather right after I shut it off..I have a baffle on the way to plug into the grommet hole and I'm hoping that'll be the fix since the valve covers do not have baffles.

Should this be the fix or does this sound like a different problem to you guys? Thanks

will do! the baffle should be here in the next few days..hopefully sooner than later I still need to take her to the track. not fun pulling up somewhere and your car looks like its about to cook either...especially on a date with a girl.
