Some thoughts:
1) Where are you leaking from? If from valve cover gasket, try some Felpro steel reinforced blue silicon gaskets. If you are running stamped steel valve covers, swap in a set of cast aluminum covers. If you are leaking out of the oil filler and PCV ports on the covers, check to make sure you have baffles installed in the covers.
2) Another way to possibly reduce the amount of oil that collects under the valve covers is to open up the drain ports in the heads to allow oil to return to the pan more efficiently.
3) Generating crankcase pressures under the valve covers from a disabled/improper PCV system?
