Default Catch can LS6 Valley

Catch can is seeping a little oil. It’s the Mike Norris style. I did the LS6 Valley cover years ago so it’s a blur. Was a PCV valve suppose to be in line between the can and intake? Is this catch can done for? Pics of the setup. Also is this routed correctly? Is it even needed? Oil is minimal in there.

Mine is hooked up the same way. No PCV in between in the line itself.

An '01-03 LS6 Valley cover requires an external PCV valve. A '04-'05 LS6 valve cover has a restrictor built into the orifice and does not require an external PCV valve.
