White sludge in PCV hose???

After changing my blown PCV hose last night (which was so caked with oil slugde inside, it was ridiculous), I looked inside and also saw some white, thick milky stuff in there. Any idea what this could be??
I have a '99 Viggen (82k). The date stamped on the hose was marked 1/99, so I assume it was the original. I've only had the car about a year or so.
Also, while I was reaching back under and behind the TB to find where the oil trap was, I noticed some oil or some oily liquid (it was kinda dark)that had leaked somewhere almost right in front and above my cat....
The rip in the PCV hose was on top near the crankcase, so it wasn't coming from there. Any ideas???
Could the hose being this plugged up have caused any performance issues??
Thanks, as always, for listening...
Chris
