next-to-last pcv mod and oil condensation question

I have the 'creamy oil' syndrome in spades, lots of short trips in winter climate, condensation along sides of dipstick and on the very bottom. I change M1 0W-40 every 3000 miles and did the next to last PCV mod a year ago. No excess oil consumption, in fact I rarely need to top up between oil changes.
But that ugly condensation really bothers me. Is it detrimental to the engine over time? Should I undo the PCV mod, which Saab recommends be done if oil use is excessive?
I did the PCV mod myself, guess if I'd had the dealer do it, they might 'undo' it gratis as well but looks like I'll need to tend to it personally, if need be.
To 'undo' or not to 'undo', that is the headache! :(
