First, clean out your PVC valve and its hoses. If there is still a plastic screen in the PVC, throw it away!

If your oil separator box and hoses have never been replaced, now is a good time to do so. Anything to relieve the crancase pressure will help the RMS stop leaking.

One drop/day is not bad and will probably go away after the pressure is brought down.

After you clean things up, I suggest switching to synthetic oil ASAP. Synthetic oils not only last longer but also keep the engine cleaner.
