Sounds like a gasket leak to me.

Did you do anything to the exhaust? I only ask because what would changing anything intake wise have to do with the exhaust? If your getting gases coming out of the valve cover vent(breather?) it would most likely be due to blow by from the piston rings. I could be wrong though. Hope that helps.
