I'm not sure on the compression problem but I disconected the PVC valve from the intake manifold and caped the manifold becasue it was sucking oil.

very common if you have oil leak through your head(valves, seals, etc) thats what its sounds like. I'm almost 100%

yea, if oil is blowing through ur PCV valve, its not the PCV thats ******* up, its actually working perfectly fine...ur problem is u need find where oil is leaking through, like said above, u probably have excess blow by(air escaping from combustion chamber into crankcase...so maybe ur piston rings arent sealing like they shud be

adjusting valves isnt going to do much, but maybe get rid of noise... like stated above, you could have cracked ringlands, that are sucking oil through rings into combustion chamber and gunking up valves, leaving them open to oil flow into top of your head and into valve cover, blah blah...
basically, take it easy on the motor, make it last as long as you can...but eventually you'll have to have it replaced...IT sux, but it is what it is
