Check one of the hose that connected to the valve cover.

It could be a lot of things from that assembly. Either the OSV its self is leaking or when replacing those return oil lines, the hoses weren'tt properly connected to the ridged tube or OSV causing a leak, or if the Valve cover gaskets are original and the mech. leaned on the covers, could have moved them in a way where it broke the seal, causing out to trickle out. Hope that helps.
