My Chinese (Latest Rage) breather is not quite vertical as well, but does not lean as much as yours.  I used a rubber O-ring and some RTV silicone sealant to prevent oil drips. What type of seal does your kit use?

 I hate junk parts. You may be able to make a tapered plate (wedge ) to correct the angle difference .  Mike

In the OP's pic it looks like the whole engine is crooked.
Look across the top of the shroud.
Of course it could be the camera angle but the ex studs also look off.
So...possibly the oil breather/tower is close to OK... Roll Eyes

I forgot about that.  I also took a grinder to my base, in order to get it flatter and for the RTV silicone to bite and seal better.

I hope it works well for you!
