Should i try using one of the other vacuum hookups on the carb, even though they aren't specifically for pcv?

If you have a breather on the valve cover of any kind that should be enough to not push out a dipstick and have oil spray everywhere, that would be what would happen with no breather at all and a basically sealed up engine. I have ran numerous small blocks with breathers or one valve cover, and pcv on the other and had no issues. I have had a little bit of oil come out of breathers before but barely any, and no where near what your describing. I believe you have bigger issues at hand.
