PCV breather box leaking?

Hi to everyone.

I've changed my oil with new PCV breather box(Oil filter housing or Oil separator or..whatever it's called) few weeks ago, and drove for about 300 miles now.
But I see this.
(sorry about the images. you can view them from

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/158xTUOq_rfbfyyy4iXQAJAOnmg1huPc3)

It seems that the plastic (cover, is it?) on top of the aluminum body is not well sealed.
Is this normal or do I need to ask FCP for a replacement?
Haven't seen any reports that this PCV breather box is very easy to make oil leaks, just've seen everything related to clogging, diaphragm..

Believe me I didn't spill any oil when filling.

I had thought they only failed with the tell-tail squealing. However, mine started leaking a while before it started squealing.
