I have seen similar issues...

i too went through all the steps suggested (including de-cruding the drain line by passing a peice of 'windscreen washer' tube down it until it would go - boy what a pita!).

with mine it came down to oil colessing in the hose above the box (sort of flame trap area) and running back down the tube into the top of the box, as the tube fits around the box it was dribling down between the tube and the box..thence all over the box. I solved it with a 'jubilee' clip around the tube to create a seal.

Now I DO have other issues with PCV etc and oil use so this may not apply to you - but I also went through multiple boxes and lots of messing about...
