Default leaking oil from breather filter

Told by Advance Auto how to put a breather filter on and now I am leaking oild out of my filter. These were the instructions I got:
1. remove the PCV tube from the valve cover and replace it with a K&N breather filter.
2. Remove the Breather tube from Valve cover to intake manifold and plug the hole on the valve cover and plug the breather nipple on the intake manifold.

I did these steps and now I am getting oil coming out of my breather filter. What am I doing wrong?
