94 900 V6 Blow-By/Oil Leak/Valve Covers

I have a 94 900 V6 with 140,000 miles on it. The car is in great shape except it periodically develops an oil leak at one or both of the valve covers which requires an expensive repair. The local Saab dealer said the leak is caused by blow-by which overpressurizes the valve covers and blows the seals. They also tell me there's nothing I can do about it and I should either sell the car or live with a leak. A local mechanic is more optimistic- he tells me the crankcase ventilation system either should be able to handle it or should be able to be enlarged to handle it. Does anyone have any thoughts on what can be done to have the system handle it?
