Did the pcv ;make the gaskets leak?

I had the mechanic check for a clogged PCV and, sure enough, he found it was so that is exactly what I did. I had him do the PCV when he did the valve cover gaskets. Make sure every single gasket is ordered. There are, I believe, three on each side as well as the grommets for the bolts. I didn't immediately change the o-ring but, over time, it will still pop out due to vibrations. I changed it to a new HBNR o-ring and now all is good.
However, although my vacuum lines are relatively pliable, I think I will/should need to replace those soon too.
