For your '98 it's where GHL4505 indicates above:

Actually, for newer C5's, it's at the end of the tubing assembly in the illustration below - just under the arrow. It's on the top/front/passenger side of the engine next to the intake manifold.

Okay, now I'm really confused. I see that hose, but there is nothing at the end of it, This is making me feel stupid.

Remember, it's a '98.

GHL4505's pic and ID are correct. That is your PCV valve. I confirmed it in the '98 manual view of the left side of the engine. It's got an O-ring inside the valve cover.

Any idea how to remove that pastic cap? I tried, but was afraid I'd break it. It's stuck on there pretty good.

I changed my PCV a couple of years ago on my 98 and it was in the tubing on the "passenger side". Do I have a newer C5 motor and not know it???

Removed that and there is nothing in there. I'm beginning to think it is on the passenger side INSIDE of the tubing.

I'm thinking you may be correct.
