Default PCV System problem?

I seem to be going thru oil when I never used to. Anyone think a bad part in my PCV system could be causing the problem? Motor only has about 30k and was a new crate engine from Audi. But the PCV system has around 70k.

I was thinking about going off this guide and replacing everything.<ul><li><a href="http://www.scottweese.com/images/pcv/pcv.html">http://www.scottweese.com/images/pcv/pcv.html</a</li></ul>

1-1.5 quarts per 5000 mile oil change.

Default i highly doubt it's all going out through the PCV.

any drips anywhere? Look at the car underneath for oil runoff/accumulation.
