Ditch the filter thingy and get yourself a decent catch tank and oil piping, do the breather mod for XE's, a larger sized outlet, 3/4in for the inlet to the catch would help.
You have effectively stopped the engine from breathing properly, so the engine is pressurized, resulting in oil leaks from the path of least resistance.
Nice looking job by the way.
