Please help this idiot! PCV clogged.
looks like my PCV valve cover hose got clogged and was not ventilating properly or at all! I had white residue in the oil cap but thankfully none in the engine oil when I drained it..Now I have a major oil leak towards the back of the oil pan/bell housing(passenger side)
I'm assuming that this happened because the pressure in the crankcase may have increased when the PCV valve failed, so the oil was pushed out through the seals and gaskets since there's no other way for the pressure to be released. PCV valve hose is all fixed now. Are my gaskets shot now? what measures should i take to fix the leak? Could I have possibly damaged anything?
any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Don't want to scare you but it could be the rear cover plate. They have a tendency to leak and are a pretty major project to replace. Parts are only about $45 and it can be done in the garage.
