oil consumption

My '99 SW1 started using more oil than normal. PCV valve checked ok. When i had the engine running, I noticed that the PCV tube had collapsed. It was really soft and oilly. It's replaced, hopefully that's the problem.

It more than likely is. The PCV valve effects oil comsumption

Did this cure the problem?

I haven't had to do an oil change since i replaced the hose, but since I last added oil, it appears to have helped.

I did an oil change several weeks ago - looks like the hose fixed the excessive consumption.
