Re. PCV, if you have the usual setup with it in a valve cover (mine is the old style at the back of the intake), an easy test would be when you come to a hill like this, stop and pull the valve out of the cover but keep it plugged into the hose, just hanging free. Then go down the hills and see if it is smoking less. Could be oil mist sucked in through the valve because of a missing or bad baffle in the valve cover or excessive oil mist.
Sure, it might be guides, seals, intake or a combination. But I like free and easy tests.
