Mine was on the line running from the headcover vent into the intake.

yup. mine i replaced mine with a puralator today as well. it is on the right side of the engine inline in a tube that goes into the side of the intake. you gotta pull off some hoses then grab it with a pair of needle noses to pull the pcv valve out

If all that isn't clear enough; it's the on the passenger side right behind the throttle body. There will be a heat sink strap (large wire) attached to it. BTW, this is where some people connect a catch can hook-up. Let me take a picture and I'll post it up in the next message.

My pleasure.
Because the valve is such a simple component, it usually only requires cleaning with a distillate solvent. That's what I did. If it rattles, it's good - if it doesn't then washing it out usually restores it. They're very cheap, but replacement isn't a bad thing either.
