If your breathers are dumping oil on the valve covers, a PCV is NOT the answer. All that will do for you is let your intake suck up that oil and have your motor burn it. You need better baffles in the valve covers to separate the oil mist from the "air" before letting it out. If yoy can't baffle the valve covers any better, there are breather stands available which have good baffling.
