High oil pressure should not cause a seal to blow. That would be caused
by high crankcase pressure.

PCV valve has nothing to do with oil pressure.

I doubt you will tell anything from a compression test. A cylinder
leakdown test would be more helpful for the symtoms you have.

Re: Let's see your Jeep
 

I doubt anyone would be very interested in pictures of mine. It's a
pretty much stock 2 door red 96 Cherokee with about 350,000 miles on it
that I (obviously) drive the piss out of. This past weekend I put
another 1000 miles on it (at 22 MPG) driving through the the mountains
to Gatlinburg TN and back.

It ain't pretty, but I'd drive it anywhere... even with it's funky
ignition switch <G>

Thanks Mike, I'll plan on the leakdown test too. My brother is
actually a mechanic, so I'm sure I'll drag him into it. It definitely
helps to know someone with their own shop and every tool you could
imagine. Hopefully I'll have the problem diagnosed sometime in the
next week or so. I just need to find the time to get over there when
he's there.

It's in a canyon near Monterrey, Mexico called "La Huasteca" in the
Cumbres de Monterrey National Park. It has some incredible vistas but
has been invaded by squatters over the years.
