Where on the valve cover is it leaking? In the area around the spark plug holes, or around the outside of the head? Try replacing the valve cover gasket and maybe use a thin coat of oil resistant RTV.

Blow through is what it's called when you use a GM MAF sensor in place of the stock MAS. The MAF also uses a translator, also known as a MAF-T or MAF Translator, which converts the signal from the MAF to something that the ECU will recognize. There is no point in getting this just so you can "vent to the atmosphere". The stock BOV was routed back into the intake for a reason, and it should be left that way until your car is modified to a point where it's not necessary.

The boost gauge can be hooked up to any line that sees vacuum/boost. There are numerous lines coming off the intake manifold and throttle body that can be used.
