Have you emptied the puke bottle? That'd be the easiest solution. Next is the marpar1973man breather modification. Especially if you dive steep downhill roads.

Ditch the puke bottle and either run a hose straight down below. Thats how I have mine done and it rarely drips.

I'd look at the steering pump/vacuum pump before front crank seal. Easier to deal with.
