the PVC fix (which should should get done if you have any oil leaks) reduced the crankcase ventilation pressure to eliminate weeping and leaking headgaskets...there were several variations for both the 9-5 and 9-3 but #6 seems to be the final version. The weeps/leaks generally occurred on the "passenger side" of engine and are usually very easy to see just inside the belt assembly. If thats what he's talking about I'd have him go ahead and do the update and maybe check/replace the head bolts as incorrect factory torque was a problem in the 99 model year. Doing teh PVC update has ssaved several folks on this board from going through the expense of replacing misdiagnosed head gaskets.
