Default ... clogged pcv valve

... what problems can come up because of a clogged pcv valve?... i remember reading somewhere (but cant find the topic anymore) about a clogged pcv valve causing oil and coolant leaks, but i am not sure... anyways, i just wanted to know (kinda got me paranoid since i have never un-clogged my pcv valve before)... if anyone has any info, i would appreciate it... thanks...

High oil consumption followed by blue smoke
blow by, high crankcase pressure
oil soaked air filter
oil in the charge pipe
poor mileage

Either use carb/pcv cleaner to clean until the pcv rattles again, or simply replace the pcv valve.
