venting my 1275

I recently aquired a Minor with a Frogeye 1275 engine in it.. It was done years ago and only has ventilation on the top of the valve cover (rocker box?) what additional venting can be done to the engine to help stop the oil leakage? thank in advance http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a38/peeweethepins...
