Leaky oil pan?

I just had my 258 rebuilt and the people who did it only offered a long block rebuid. The oil pan leaks like crazy! Any hints on how to stop it. I have a new gasket set ready to replace it. I realize it is a jeep and may leak a little bit but not to the extent it is leaking now. Any little tips would be helpful.
 

Make sure the PCV system is working properly and not allowing too much crankcase pressure to build.
 
Right on Bounty Hunter, When I got 'Black Betty' the previous owner had the valve hooked up to the back of the carb alright, but with the aftermarket K&N air filter housing they forgot to provide for the pcv opening at the oil fill neck to the air cleaner, that was one of many things I've been correcting on her.
