Track day external oil loss question

I have been running a few auto cross and time trials in my '02 and had something new come up this past weekend. I run with a quart overfilled on the dipstick. after my first run session i opened the hood and found oil running down the radiator shroud, side of the airbox and under the hood, all on the drivers side. The small diameter hose going into the side of the airbox was all wet with oil so i removed the airfilter to get a look inside the box and it had very little oil in it. I cant find the source of this sudden oil loss. Has anyone experienced this and if so, what is the fix?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give on this subject.

You have a problem with your PCV system. Probably the oil-valley leak issue. You get oil in the intake, around the throttle body. I suppose with enough oil (like with an overfill) the oil could run down to the air box.

There is a TSB.
