Oil Trap Modification opinion

My dealer advised me that my 99' 9-5 is leaking oil from the camshaft plugs, engine oil trap/PCV system, and the oil pressure switch. They indicated that the oil trap/PCV system was clogged and that there is a retrofit with larger hoses that will prevent this. Is this a common issue with this year model? Could I have left things the way they were?
After $735 labor and $208 parts (Replaced Camshaft plugs, Performed oil trap mod, new breather hoses, replaced oil pressure switch, new PCV grommets and nipples), it has strained my budget.
