Use of synthetic oils greatly reduced the PCV clogging. The hoses still get old and should probably be replaced at the 150K region.

One way to check for vacuum is to remove the oil filler cap, put a latex glove over the opening and start the warm engine. If the glove starts to inflate, you have a problem. A vacuum gauge is the prefered method for a mechanic, but without a vacuum tree in the new cars, what is a guy supposed to do?
