A plugged or defective PCV can cause problems, usually sludging or oil LEAKS. Sometimes considerable oil is forced back into the air-filter box and makes a mess. But I’ve never seen one cause oil consumption like you experienced…Anything is possible I guess…perhaps the crankcase air intake is completely unbaffled so if air flow is reversed, a lot of oil can escape into the intake…
