Question:
Do you have breathers on your valve covers or PCV?
What type of air cleaner do you have?

Where are your valve covers spitting from? If from the holes, what do you have in the holes? Breather, PCV valve, anything? Make sure your rubber grommets fit snug in the hole, as well as the breather or PCV in the grommet. If either of those are loose, oil can blow by. The fix is to get grommets and PCV valve or breathers that fit snug and don't allow the oil to blow by. The PCV valve should always have a hose to the Carb to create vaccum. A breather does not require anything but should fit snug. A breather tube should have a hose to the air cleaner.

Are they OE or aftermarket V/C's? Are they baffled? Valve cover w/o baffles can spit oil around....

They are breathers and the covers are not baffled.High Erson valvecovers.On the breathers there are a stud so you could mount a hose..
