If the system is cloged first sign of this would be oil being forced out at the filler cap. This is how i knew the PCV system was bad. Below the filler cap is a small trench and the oil will collect in the trench and drain off the top of the valve cover. It will also collect around the coil packs if you take the plastic coil pack cover off and see alot of oil, your PCV system needs to be replaced.

On my 01 I have a similar problem I have a stray hose that in iron mikes top pic. The tube that's next to the broken tube of his. Has a smaller tube coming off the side of it. In the pic it has a silver clamp, it's broken so I have no idea where it would attach too. I'll post pictures tomorrow. If anyone has an idea where it goes please help.
IPD now has a "complete" package for $225 right down to the new oil filler neck o ring and 2 banjo bolts.
I did mine at 80k on a 12 year-old 2004. I figured it was worth the peace of mind. I read too many stories from people who had system failures and the subsequent engine damage.
