the PCV could get sludged up over time (they all do, by design) and eventually get so sticky that it won't open up and let the pressure out of your crankcase (which you get in any engine). the pressure has nowhere to go and therefore pushes oil out your seals.
sludge in your crankcase would probably prevent a leak :lol:
