I'm experiencing oil seeps that I think I the result of excessive 
crankcase pressure.

Continentals are notorious for blowby, even when new and require a very 
open vent. I installed a Andair air/oil separator which does work really 
well in captureing the oil but I fear it is causing the excessive back 
pressure.  Anybody else have experience in this regard?

I'm also considering modifying my exhaust header similar to

to create a crankcase evacuation system.  Rutan recommended a similar 
modification to the exhast system for longezs.
