If you can't hear the valve rattling around inside, you need to replace it.

Yes. There is a check ball inside. If it's not loose the PCV is bad or dirty. A little oil around the gasket is not a problem.

I had the same issue and I was able to locate another rubber o-ring.

I swapped it out and the problem was solved. I also cleaned out the PCV with some brake parts cleaner as it still rattled when I shook it.

I guess the rubber o-ring is prone to getting hard & brittle.

As Jim (Fastblackmerc) stated check to make sure that you hear the rattle if not the PCV needs to be replaced and the new one has a brand new o-ring.
