You don't need to be so elaborate with the pcv valve, but installing one should take care of reducing crankcase vacuum.
That check valve you mention may not be working correctly, or it might be an attempt to reduce crankcase vacuum.
If a vacuum is produced within the crankcase, it will help prevent oil leaks, but if the vacuum is too much, it can hurt seals and will try to take outside air from any place it can get it, like your dip stick hole. Maybe a breather would help.
