Default PCV or somthing like it on a 12v?

On my '94, I'm blowing a LOT of oil out the road draft tube. I had assumed this was due to rings, and that I was doomed to using about a gallon of oil per tank, but someone else mentioned a blocked/clogged crankcase ventilation filter.

Does this exist on a '94 12 valve engine?

Can't seem to get the search function to run "CCV" or "PCV" for me, they're too short.

Thanks

there is no filter on the 12 valves, but one thing that can cause exsessive blow-by is a leaking vacume system, as the vac pump vents into the crankcase, other than that it would be your rings

That makes sense, as the cruise is weak above 65, like the vacuum is weak to it or something.

One more thing to look at. Thanks.
