Need to get an oil separator on it and unhook the hose from the valve cover to breather pipe on the passenger side and get a breather to put in the hole on the passenger valve cover. Then pull air filter housing off and clean it out.

It's slowly filled the air filter housing up with oil and now it's running out. Take it off and see if it is full of oil. My oil seperator fills up pretty fast when you run it hard like at the track. Mine was coming out around the throttle body where the pipe hooks up. Non after the seperator.

Where does it say anything about the valve covers??

OP, if it is coming from the bottom of the oil filter, it is possible your oil cooler needs to be tightened up. There is a stud that the oil filter screws onto and you probably need to tighten that up a little.
