I finally finished changing the PCV. As I expected it was in perfect condition. There was no grime to be seen anywhere. Pulling the intake manifold is kind of a nightmarish job on the turbo cars with electronic throttle. Since this model has two coolant hoses connected to the manifold, and since they were dripping coolant that might have gotten into the open dipstick hole, I changed the oil after I was done and before I started the car.

Started it up and...frothy oil.

Next step is to secure an oil pressure tester that has an adapter that can screw into the oil pressure switch hole. Perhaps those oil pan o-rings are bad after all? More news in a week or so.
