Oil spray after Track Day.

I did my second track day. What fun but after my first run each time I get this oil pray on the air filter housing.
Its coming from the hose out the back of the valve cover. I don’t seem to get anymore after the first run.

Anyone know why I get this?

I have the caps to replace this hose but am afraid the cap will pop off and Ill be stuck.

Check if there is a slight crap in the hose.

Its that o ring on that hose, they can leak, mine is doing it. It sprays by that o ring when you drive it really hard. Replace that o ring first and check that hose to make sure it clips in all the way.
