Please help stop the oil leak from valve covers

I am using Summit Aluminum valve covers with baffles. I have Edelbrock (K&N filters) push-in filters in both valve covers. They leak when the truck is running. I don't see them leak at idle but when running it hard they leak. What can I do to stop the leak. I will change to some other type of filter or PCV valve if I can stop the leaks. Thanks in advance.

A PCV valve will likely stop it. You are getting some blow-by at higher RPMs and the crankcase is being pressurized. It is venting through the baffles and dripping
