don't forget that plugged lines are only part of the problem. The PCV oil separator is just as likely to be clogged, as are any of the little lines from this box to the block.

If this stuff is plugged up it won't help to change seals. They'll just blow out again in a week. If positive crankcase pressure is causing the leaks, you've got to deal with the pressure before you fix the seals. If you fix the PCV probs quick enough the seals will probably start sealing again all on their own.
