A pcv valve is either working or not, it snapps closed when vacuum in the manifold increases greatly at idle with the TB closed.
If the valve fails to close at idle it will begin to pull vapor from the crankcase with much more force than it eas ever intended to, bringing oil along with it.
Not saying this is absolutely whats wrong, but it could happen.
