If your PCV is eating oil, a long coast down from Rose will certainly accelerate the issue when compared to driving on the freeway under throttle. I don't know if simply replacing the PCV will address this, but it can't hurt to try.

Actually it probably will hurt to try... it will hurt your knuckles, because it's a ***** to get a wrench on that PCV to replace it. I think you pretty much have to bend a wrench into a custom tool to do it. I've had a spare PCV in my toolbox for like 3 years now, and have yet to get around to swapping it because it's so hard to get to.

Its funny you say that, because I have one too that has been in my center console for a year now. The hose that connects to it is rock hard from age so Im skuurd to try to pop it off and break it, making a giant vacuum leak until I pull the whole manifold. No thanks lol
