My $6 check-valve arrived on Friday. I bought some 5.6 mm vacuum hose (79 cents). Hooked up the new check-valve and I could feel a slight draw at the oil cap. It appears that the oil leaks have stopped. A bit early to tell yet but promising. So apparently my failed valve cover gaskets were caused by the bad check valve. With the oil trap connection without a hose on it, waiting for the parts, I had oil coming out all over the place. Seems like quite a bit of crankcase pressure for a car with only 125K miles. It will be nice if this fixes it. The smell of burning oil all week was getting to me.
