Just don't want to go pulling it apart without having the parts to fix it.

Also I've heard of people blocking off the PCV system? anyone know if its worth while or not, seems like a common place for oil leaks.

Should just be a case of replacing hoses and hose clamps, retaining that plastic 'Y' piece. Give everything a good degrease too. That style hose clamp loses its spring over time and the rubber goes hard with the oil exposure.
