springing leaks everywhere..why?

I cant seem to stop oil leaks. no matter what I do another leak comes up somewhere else.

Do I have to much crankcase pressure causing the seals to leak? I canr really tell where some fo the leaks come from....1 is the oil filter, the other is the mating between the pan and the gasket on the rear right under the rea main and something is dripping oil all over my starter, imm thinking its from between the head and block. ITs seem like when I seal one and other pops up somewher else like I have to much crankcase pressure so its gonna find a way out somewhere.

Im running the stock PVC setup but thinking about doing away with all that and just putting filter breathers on both valve covers and pluging the holes on the throttle body and the plenum.

Im running a MAF set...have way high oil pressure due to the HV pump and gapped my rings for nitrous use according to KB specs.

If this is a new motor it is posible to get some blowby. However the rings should seat quickly enough so the blowby stops. We just started up a new motor and it had some blowby. After maybe 5 miles it stopped.
