I have a fair amount of oil coming out of my valve cover breather. It is a K&N, filter style, and i have a rag wraped around it and it gets saturated quickly and drips on the header. Any tips on helping me out with this problem? thanks

Put the Stock oil cap back on if you are not supercharged.

If it is supercharged you can use the stock oil cap, run the line to the intake tube, and use an oil separator.

n/a car with tf tall valve covers and cant use the stock cap. The small hole k&n breather is the only one that i could find to fit tight.

I don't know if it is possible in your case, but I would pull the valve cover off and try to fabricate a baffle to keep oil from spraying up the hole.
