Mike...

Your intake manifold is already plumbed
for the early simple rubber diaphragm
equipped PCV valve set-up. All you have
to do is buy the valve (available from
Victoria British or one of the other usual
suspects) and install it, hooking it up
to that rubber hose off the flame
arrester on the front timing case cover.

With this you should order the "filtered"
valve cover oil filler cap which has a
"graduated orifice" within which supplies
the crankcase with the "correct" amount
of "inlet air" and works in conjunction
with the aforementioned PCV valve
containing a "graduated orifice" for
crankcase "outlet air".

This may or may not solve entirely your
oil leak, depending on whether it's coming
from the rear oil "scroll" area or falling on
the area from the oil pump cover "above"
(or maybe a bit of each). Of course, there
are the other lister posts to your question which may apply in whole or
in part, to
one extent or another, of course.

But in order of financial priority, the PCV
valve installation is the cheapest "fix".
Hope it works for you! Good luck, sir. :)
