V8 Crank Case breather hose..

Morning all,

I've been reading about oil leaks on V8 engines (I still have a small one) and have come across people talking about blocked crank case breather hoses causing oil leaks.

I think it can cause a build up of pressure that can force oil past the front and rear oil seals or something.

Firstly have I got this right, and secondly how does that work?

And thirdly, how do I go about unblocking them? Do I have to take the rocker covers off to do it?

As I say I still have a small oil leak and I was wondering if this was causing it.
