front and rear main seal leak

im wondering if this is common or a sign that i have too much crankcase presure.i have 47k on this car with a 5857 and supporting mods running 27lbs .anyone else have this problem? i remember a while back i had to put a lock on the dipstick or it would blow out. my pcv system is stock design with catch cans in between

Sure defiantly to much CC pressure will do this, also cause the oil pan to seep oil. make sure the check valve in the PCV is not stuck, or create a new system and run a catch can and vent to atmosphere.

I did qUite a bit of research on catch can set ups for this car and I still don't see how a can with a filter on top of it is pulling any crank presure out. It allows it to breathe but doesn't seem like it would be as good. Anyway. Can someone give me an idea of a set up that may alleviate this problem?
