It just seems so... Small.

That's the hose i'm referring to and the small bore stub on the manifold - if there is a blockage there you won't get any vacuum where it needs it in the PCV system so the crankcase will pressurise squirting oil out anywhere it can get past. Give it all a good clean, a piece of stiff wire or a small drill bit (~2mm from memory) used between your fingers or even in a small hand drill will help remove the bulk of the gunge. You'll be surprised at the improvement that alone makes to the general running!
After you've got all the PCV system clean (the whole system, not just parts!) wait a month or so and then clean it again. You'll be amazed how dirty it gets in that time! Wait another month and do it again but it should be cleaner this time, third month, check it and it should still be fairly clean so thereafer just do it while the oil is draining on the routine oil/filter changes.
