Are you talking about the vent line on the valve cover? How much oil did it lose?

1/4 quart oil ....oil was behind pass seats and dripping from the top. they said the factoy installed a screw that was too long not allowing it to breath.

It sounds like the screw for the vent line was to long and bottomed out in the hole. That's common and easily fixed with an extra washer. It doesn't take very much oil to make a BIG mess.
I wouldn't worry to much. Keep an eye on your intake box when you get it back to make sure your not pushing oil out the vent line by chance that maybe there is a problem with the engine.

Glad to help Jim
If it continues to leek you might want to consider replacing the OEM plastic adapter with a billet one like this UTV INC POLARIS BILLET BREATHER VALVE - BILLET PARTS
