Can you help please? Blocked crank case breathers?

I am pretty sure my Vit g16a 8v single point efi engine has a significant blockage in the internal crank breather holes leading from the crankcase up to the valve cover. This is leading to a buildup of crankcase pressure and an oil pan leak.

Can anyone advise me how to clear the blockage. I will be taking the oil pan off and resealing it. Is it ok to poke a piece of copper wire up through the breathers?
