Question Oil Leak

I recently changed the IP in my 2001 and ever since then it's been leaking oil from the crankcase breather. Any ideas on what it might be?

I am not sure why, but my 99 has always blown oil all over the steering pump and the bottom of the truck,

However, as bad as it looks, I have never had to add oil between 10,000km oil changes, never even notice a drop on the stick.

I have read here posts for fixes if the oil is staining your painted garage floor, but the dirt my goat sleeps over dosent seam to mind the dripping....

The only problem of just letting it drip is that the fan is probly pulling up some of the blowby and putting it into the rad. Thats what happened to mine and it took awhile to get the rad cleaned out. I routed the blowby tube to behind the motor with some PVC pipe.
