Need some ideas for a valve cover breather?
Basically I would have to modify the valve cover I have circled, but what fitting should I use, and where i could get it? 
I was leaking a little bit of oil out of the crank case breather so I think I am building up a little to much pressure in there and I think a valve cover breather would help.
ideas/Comments/suggestions?

Drill a hole in it, tap the hole to accept a small brass barbed fitting, install barbed fitting, use a short piece of hose and a small breather filter. K&N makes some small chrome breather filters that would work for that.
If the cover isn't thick enough material to tap then use a thin nut on the back side. There are a bazillion ways you could make this work.
