Bad PCV or grommet?

Leaking oil around the PCV. Nice round circle on the valve cover and slowly flowing down. The PCV still rattles but is VERY loose. PCV moves too easily in the grommet and comes out without a snug feel. Like the PCV is just sitting there. Thanks.

It is a check valve, so put low air pressure on the side with the hose. If air flows, it is bad. Also, check to see how much blow-by you have. That's the usual contributor.
