Are you loosing coolant too? You can pull the PCV and see if it rattles, if it does it's not stopped up. If the PCV is sludged up you probably have bigger problems with that much build up.

Doesn't hurt to change you Pcv and clean the milky stuff off the bottom of your cap it's moisture during the winter you can't prevent it
