Default Need Help! Lots of Blue Stinky Smoke!!!!!

So to begin with...I know I have a clogged PCV already.
Recently I have had a loss of power, like the car is fighting me on acceleration-it groaaaaans and then kinda gets going.
Today after school, I noticed a good amount of "blue" smoke pouring out of the tail pipe and I also happened to notice the acceleration had improved ??? It wasn't quite normal, but it didn't fight me.
A friend suggested I try to flush the PCV with SeaFoam to see if maybe that's the problem (Cross your fingers!!!!)
I have looked into PCV kits but if I can save the money, id like to.
I will also be compression testing it in shop tomorrow as I realize the possibility of it being piston rings


Any suggestions??
Thanks!

could simply be caused by the clogged PCV, if you wait too long to fix that you can actually cause costly repairs.

start with that, you already know it needs to be done.

You should do the PCV before you add gas again. That can be as costly as loosing a timing belt.

The clogged PCV causes the gunk in the hole??? Or Seafoam?? I just put seafoam into the crankcase and tomorrow I was planning on putting it in to the vacuum tree.

Stop throwing rocks at airplanes. The clogged PCV caused a hole in the block. Whenever you Seafoam the car, you are suppose to drive it 20 - 50 miles. If the PCV system is clogged, where do you want Seafoam to send it?

...I didn't see that hole. I have read that people use sea foam to clear a clogged pcv so I thought I'd give it a try. As of an hour ago this is no longer my biggest problem because my wheel just fell off (parts failed) and tore up everything in its way.
Thanks for the help though
