That box you describe sounds like your "oil breather chamber" This could be where your oil is leaking. There is a hose connect to it from the driver side. There is also an o-ring that goes between the oil breather chamber unit itself and the motor block.

That box is a baffle for the PCV system. Make sure the PCV hose is inserted into it all of the way. It also slips into the block and has an o-ring seal. Remove the 2 10mm bolts that hold it in and replace the o-ring if that is the source of the leak.
