Rick,
I have the same valve cover & had the exact same problem. The fix for me 
was to rebuild the engine. Yea, it was blow by. I had three sets of 
cracked rings. Before I realized the real problem I filled the hole, 
made an aluminum oil baffle under the valve cover cap opening & used a 
full cork gasket to seal off the blow-by. Eventually the oil still oozed 
out from under the cap. For some reason these covers & the filler cap 
don't seal as well as the originals & are susceptible to pressure build up.
Rebuilt motor, same valve cover, no problem.
