As soon as the dealer sees the symptoms they will try to sell him a new engine. If he acts fast and properly he can save the engine he has now.

Once he gets the vents opened back up and has the engine flushed with a nice oil flushing machine he should be in great shape.

I'll bet that you can not find a professional mechanic at a dealership in the next hour that fully understands the PCV system of the 3.4 engine. It is now 0930 right coast time, see if you can find one anywhere in the US by 1030 and let us know who and where he is...
