Pull out the PCV valve (it's on the driver side of the intake manifold in a large rubber grommet) and shake it. If it rattles, it's fine. If it doesn't a replacement is less than $5.00 at any parts store.

If it is clogged it can cause major problem with pressure biuld up and oil being forced out of the engine......like was said erlier its easy to check and cheap to replace
