Additionally even if the PCV valve was there, the oil that leaked past the seals wouldn't go back into the pan/block via the intake so it really wouldn't positively affect your levels.
No no! I've had no problem! I was just curious if anyone devloped any symptoms. Was a huge issue on my C5 Vett though! The LS-1 was notorious for pulling oil in through the PCV system. Had to use a catch can. I am just hoping that in the absence of the valve, oil, or at least more oil than I'd like, will be sucked in.
