Im pretty sure thats what was replaced...this was my dads car and he said that not to long ago he had some seals replaced because it was leaking oil...on second thought he said it was the valve cover gasket and camshaft seals and a few other seals. So do u think for sure it could be the pcv valve...now if that is whats wrong could anything elsepossibly be damaged now because of it or can i just replace the pcv valveand be fine or what should be done?

The car's engine is a giant pump, consequently it must breathe. The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system does just this, allows the engine to exhaust the excess pressure build-up (which is a natural phenomenon of the internal combustion engine). Carbon build-up is a by-product of an engine and can build up in the PCV system, clogging the breathing passages. This in turn pressurizes the oil pan and pushes oil up into the fuel delivery system, where it is fed into the engine and burned.
