Default oil is coming out of valve cover filler hole and leaking out from oil pan

I just built a 6.0 motor for my camaro. I am running flat top pistons. I seem to have alot of crank case pressure. If u hold ur hand over the valve cover filler hole its just blowing out. It made good power on the dyno last night but when i went to drive it home the next morning there was a puddle of oil under my car. What do u think it could be? Do u think i cracked a piston or cracked a ring or i have even heard this could be my oil pan gasket. Please help me out guys!!!!

What ring end gap did you measure for 1 & 2 compression rings?

How do you have your PCV connected?

PCV is connected and not sure on ring gap. I had a local machine shop build the short block for me.
