The PCV system is a whole complicated series of tube to vent the crankcase pressure. There is an oil seperator on all non-turbo cars under the intake manifold that gets clogged over years of use and will probably need to be replaced. The easy test is to warm the engine up & pull out the oil dipstick while the car is idling. If a trail of smoke puffs out of the opening, the PCV system will need to be cleaned/replaced. It's not a bad DIY job, especially on a non-turbo car, but it is time-consuming and a bit annoying.
