Just how important is it to replace the oil trap anyways? The mechanic says it is clogged up/has buildup
Also what is the "pcv system"? Is that all the hosing?

It pretty important. And yes the PCV system is the oil trap and all the hoses that go to it. If it gets clogged up, the built up crankcase pressure that would normally be relieved through the PCV (Positive crankcase ventilation), will push oil past the seals and you'll have a whole host of other issues to deal with that will cost you even more money.
