When I changed those hot rod filters for the PCV system my biggest surprise was how noticeable the difference was. I may have lost a couple HP but I sure didn't notice it. What was obvious was how much better the engine was breathing. It wound up faster and ran cooler.

Since I'm always adding oil I check the PCV hoses and connections all the time. There is never any oil in the hoses or in the breathers. There are baffles which have oil on them so I know the level get up there - but there is a piece of foam just inside and it's always dry. All that's going thru the PCV system is air. It's not picking up any oil there. There's also no leaking from the intake, heads or valve covers. What I read here sounds like a correct diagnosis and it's easy enough to check. I'm going to bet it is leaking from both ends - the rings and the valve guides. I let you know soon.
