update....
with the valve cover vented directly to atmosphere my oil leakage has nearly completely stopped. i don't have any more puddles on the drive way and the side of my engine is still relatively clean. ill likely just get a length of hose and keep it vented that way and forget the catch can all together. i guess the pressurized crankcase would likely prevent the oil from draining back in so there was excess oil in the valve cover causing the excess spill over. that's the only way i can make sense of less oil
coming out while venting the hole more that the oil comes out of!! anyway lesson for those wanting a catch can... make sure it flows enough air
