missing pcv valve
missing pcv valve I guess this is where this should go. I had my vlave cover off the other day and figured I would replace the pcv. From what i understand it's on the inside of the passenger valve cover correct? There is nothing there on mine. Just a tube connected to the valve cover. I don't even see how it would go on, there is no tube on the inside. The tube that goes outside the cover is flush with the inside and doesn't have another tube coming off of it. anybody have a pic of what it should look like in there. I notcied that driving my car for 15minutes and there was oil on the back of the throttle body blade. I just put the T/B on so it's easy to tell. help needed.
Pics.

The PCV valve is line mounted. On the back of the driver's side valve cover there is a 90 degree plastic fitting that connects to the hose that the PCV valve is mounted in. This hose runs behind the engine, over the passenger side valve cover, & into the TB. The PCV valve was mounted in this line. Sorry, no pics.

Post above is correct. And being that your car is a '98, the PCV valve will be resting right between the valvecover and the intake, in the above mentioned tube/line, about halfway back on the passenger side (the valve is farther forward on the '99-up cars). There is no need to remove the valvecover to get at the PCV. The valve is inside a rubber boot that looks like a buldge in the tube. If it's the stock valve, that boot will be covered in some insulation foam tape. Don't worry about removing the foam, you don't need it.
last time i listen to a guy at autozone. I have been working on cars for years and have never seen one inside the valve cover. He swore up and down that was where it was at. Thanks.
