Oil Leak 850

I just finished doing a PCV job on a 1994 N/A. I of course changed the oil and used regular motor oil with the RX stuff recommended on here. This morning there is oil on my garage floor. I took off the fan shroud and it looks like its coming from the PCV box or at least in that area. Any clues? It seems to be coming from directly behind the intake manifold in the center of the engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you used the routing diagram from Haynes or FCP, there is a small error in their diagrams. The hoses are on the wrong holes at the top of the oil separator box! Check the pics on Step 7 of the following:

What type of "PCV job" did you do? Canister change?
Any chance you may have just spilled a little and it took all night to run off?

Yes, I did a canister and hose change. I bought the kit from Groton. I was thinking I may have an issue with one of the clamps. Originally it looked like the dipstick, but when I got underneath its coming from directly above it. Looks like I have to take the intake off AGAIN!!!! Any suggestions?

why did you know u had to replace the canister? I am getting leaks at mltiple engine seals - canshafts, oil filler cap, dipstick etc. so I think I have high pressure building..i have cleaned/replaced the oil separator multiple times, but couldit be the canister is clogged?...my 850 has over 300K miles & canister was never serviced. Is it a huge job to pull the intake manifold, fuel rail, etc?

thanks - appreciate you advice.
