I don't see blue smoke so I guess that is good. Would you expect a bad PCV to pop the dipstick even if the dipstick has a new o-ring?
If I am getting oil pushed into the wrong places due to a PCV, wouldn't I see some in the end of the black air "snorkle" which is clamped to the intake manifold?

1) Your dipstick may not pop out with a new o-ring, especially if it is installed well and is a good fit. This would simply mask the problem. PCV valves are CHEAP! i suggest spending a weekend with a crows-foot and replacing it.
2) You may see some at the end of the snorkle, or it may just be in the intake manifold. Depends on the pressures your crank case is seeing.
